About MAPPED: Facility Ownership – Hospitals & Ambulatory Surgery Centers
PHC4 collected and verified ownership information from each of the hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers licensed in Pennsylvania. Each was labeled by owner type: health systems, investors, state entities, or independents.
This map shows the location of each hospital or ASC and its ownership information. It also includes a bar graph showing the number of hospitals and ASCs owned by each health system.
In some cases, a hospital or ASC is owned equally by two different operators. When this happens, we list it on the map twice, once under each operator. This doesn’t mean that there are two hospitals or ASCs with the same name. It’s meant to show that multiple operators are associated with that facility.
