It is a 258-bed hospital, and a Level II trauma center.[5] The Torresdale campus has a 1,300 car parking garage.[6] There are also partner urgent care clinics in the Torresdale area.[7]
Work began in 2013 for a new emergency department and parking garage at the Torresdale campus, at a cost of $37 million.[8] The expansion increased the size of the emergency department to 42 beds.[8] Jefferson Torresdale Hospital in Philadelphia, Pa. is rated high performing in 2 adult procedures and conditions, according to U.S. News & World Report.[9] It is a general medical and surgical facility.

Jefferson Bucks Hospital
edit
In 1999, the Aria Health system acquired Delaware Valley Medical Center, which is now called Jefferson Bucks Hospital. It is a 112-bed hospital located in Langhorne, Pennsylvania.[10]
Aria Health sought to build a new 229-bed facility in Lower Makefield, Pennsylvania, to replace Bucks County Hospital. Local residents opposed this project, due to concerns about traffic congestion.[11] In 2013, Aria Health proposed news plans for a "health care village," a facility offering multiple health care services, which may have lower impact on the environment and traffic congestion.[12]
