Temple University Hospital was founded in 1892 by the university’s president, according to the hospital’s website.

“Founded as Samaritan Hospital in 1892 by Temple University President Dr. Russell Conwell, Temple began life as a 20-bed hospital with one doctor and one nurse. The hospital’s mission was to provide free care for those unable to afford payment, regardless of race, nationality or creed. Today, Temple continues to uphold that mission but has grown into a nationally respected center of healing, caring, teaching and research. Although it uses the latest technology and treatments, its staff use one remedy that can never be replaced or improved: person-to-person caring,” the website says.

The hospital is a part of Temple University’s Temple Health program.

“Temple Health comprises the health, education and research activities carried out by the affiliates of Temple University Health System and the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University,” the Temple Health website says. “As one of the region’s top academic health systems, Temple Health is dedicated to providing access to quality patient care and supporting excellence in medical education and research.”
