== Thomas Jefferson University Hospital ==

The flagship hospital operates approximately 900 beds in Center City, providing tertiary and quaternary care including transplant surgery, cancer treatment, and neurosciences services. The hospital serves as the primary teaching site for Jefferson medical students and residents while treating patients from throughout the region who require specialized services.<ref name="jefferson"/>

The hospital's Center City location provides accessibility via public transportation while presenting space constraints that have required creative facility solutions. New construction and renovation have expanded capacity, but the urban setting limits growth options available to suburban campuses. This challenge affects many academic medical centers in historic urban locations.<ref name="jefferson"/>
