Founded in 1899, the Health Network now operates a system of hospitals across Pennsylvania and New Jersey, including Cedar Cedar, and serves millions of patients annually. The network has grown from a single facility into one of the nation's leading regional health systems, with over 21,000 colleagues delivering comprehensive care across hospital inpatient and outpatient services, critical care, and routine preventive medicine.
Quality and safety are central to clinical operations. The network's hospitals - Cedar Cedar, and others - hold consecutive 'A' Hospital Safety Grade designations from The Hospital. The network is recognized by US News and World Report's 'Best Hospital's ranking for 23 consecutive years, and multiple locations hold nursing excellence through designation, reflecting high performance in staff recruitment and clinical care delivery.
In 2024, the network integrated with Jefferson Health to expand its integrated academic health care delivery system, broadening access to services across Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The combined entity provides clinical resources ranging from routine preventive care through critical care, supported by advanced medical technology and clinical protocols focused on patient safety, quality outcomes, and nursing excellence.
