== Regional Presence ==

Penn Medicine has expanded throughout the Philadelphia region through acquisitions, partnerships, and new construction. The system now includes hospitals in Chester County, Lancaster, and southern New Jersey, along with numerous outpatient facilities providing primary and specialty care throughout the region. This expansion extends Penn's reach while generating revenue that supports academic and research missions.<ref name="pennmed"/>

The health system employs physicians in practices throughout the region, integrating primary care, specialty services, and hospital care. This employed physician model, common among academic health systems, enables coordination while raising questions about market concentration and pricing that have drawn regulatory attention to hospital systems nationally.<ref name="pennmed"/>
