Inpatient services include operative and preoperative care for gynecologic procedures at the Hospital for the University of Pennsylvania, Presbyterian Hospital, Pennsylvania Hospital, and the Veterans' Administration Medical Center.

Our faculty members supervise the obstetric and gynecology clinics at the Helen O.
