Project Description

The Public Health Campus on Cedar (PHCC) project involves the transformation of a 100-year-old, 450,000-square-foot community hospital. The renovation will rehabilitate PHCC into a modern, integrated public health campus. The PHCC health and human service facility will include a federally qualified healthcare center and dental clinic, an inpatient pediatric crisis response and stabilization center, and several residential and non-residential social-service programs. Over 80% of the people served at PHCC are low-income or reside in low-income communities. PHCC is anchored by a partnership of the region’s premier healthcare institutions, including the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP), the flagship hospital of Penn Medicine, and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), the nation’s first hospital devoted exclusively to the care of children. The campus will provide high-quality, community-informed, patient-centered health care and social services. Public Health Management Corporation (PHMC), a nonprofit public health institute, is the medical services provider for PHCC. PHMC has served minority and underserved communities throughout the Greater Philadelphia region for over 50 years.
