For nearly a century, Doylestown Health has served Doylestown and the surrounding communities with high quality, compassionate healthcare. The first Doylestown Hospital was founded in 1923 by the Village Improvement Association of Doylestown (VIA), which continues to oversee governance of what is now a nationally recognized, multi-facility health system serving thousands of people across Bucks and Montgomery counties in Pennsylvania, and Hunterdon and Mercer counties in New Jersey.
Today, Doylestown Health is a comprehensive care network, strengthened and empowered by philanthropy and a commitment to remaining independent in order to better serve the evolving needs of our community. Doylestown Health has been recognized across the board on the national and regional levels, ranking in Newsweek’s annual list of World’s Best Hospitals (2023) and as one of the best hospitals in Pennsylvania by U.S. News & World Report (2022-2023). Additional accolades in clinical excellence and patient safety, cancer, heart and vascular care, nephrology, orthopedics, and pulmonary care demonstrate Doylestown Health’s unique position as an award-winning community health system providing services most often found in urban hospitals—all from what started as an eight-bed maternity and emergency ward in rural Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
Doylestown Health provides outstanding care at every stage of life, from pre-natal and maternity care, through primary care, urgent care, and a broad range of comprehensive specialty services. Throughout our history, services and care programs have grown and developed around a patient-first philosophy and interdisciplinary team approach that set Doylestown Health apart. In addition, Doylestown Health maintains strong affiliations with regional academic medical centers, specialized treatment facilities, and community health organizations. These partnerships extend our range of life-saving services and resources. In recent years, Doylestown Health has also grown in the fields of medical training and research, participating in numerous clinical trials and launching our first residency programs in pharmacy and, in the near future, family medicine.
