Penn Medicine Doylestown Health
Central Bucks County’s hospital — the longtime Doylestown Hospital, now part of Penn Medicine, serving the county seat and everything around it.
Doylestown Hospital has anchored Central Bucks health care for a century, and in 2025 it formally joined the University of Pennsylvania Health System as Penn Medicine Doylestown Health — keeping the community hospital that Doylestown built (it was founded by the local VIA women’s civic association) while plugging it into one of the nation’s premier academic systems.
For anyone shopping Doylestown, Buckingham, New Britain, Chalfont, Warrington, Jamison, Plumsteadville, New Hope, or Solebury, this is the emergency department geography points to — a roughly 245-bed teaching hospital on West State Street at the edge of Doylestown Borough.
