WHAT: Penn Medicine will celebrate one of the largest capital projects in the history of Pennsylvania Hospital, the official opening of Penn Medicine Washington Square a new 153,000 square foot, green building in center city Philadelphia that serves as the major hub of outpatient care for Pennsylvania Hospital. This modern facility features leading-edge telecommunication and clinical information systems, providing patients with the most advanced level of collaborative and interdisciplinary care.

More than 100 providers from across a wide range of services including cardiology, concierge medicine, otorhinolaryngology, primary care, surgery and womens health are now available in one location along with patient pre-admission testing and phlebotomy services. The facility is also built atop an existing parking garage, offering added convenience for patients.

Penn Medicine Washington Square is an integral part of Pennsylvania Hospitals master plan which includes the expansion of private rooms for our patients. It represents great strides in both meeting the growing need for outpatient care and Penn Medicines overall commitment to its patients in Center City and beyond.

Tours of Penn Medicine Washington Square will be available and will include: a patient exam room, diagnostic space; patient waiting areas and lobbies; and the new Avenue C self-checkout vending market for employees.
