More than half of the clinical services previously offered at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP) have found a new home in the Pavilion. Several patient care services are available at both locations.
Patient Care Units
The following patient care units have been moved from HUP and exist only at the Pavilion, housing 504 beds:
Patient Care Services
The following services are offered at both HUP and the Pavilion:
- Acute Therapy Services
- Case Management
- Clinical Nutrition Support Services
- Non-Invasive Cardiology
- Non-Invasive Vascular Laboratory
- Neurodiagnostics (LTM)
- Pastoral Care
Procedural Services
47 operational and interventional suites span three entire floors of the Pavilion and include pre- and post-operative care for:
Improving Flow of Care
Care is organized by specific patient populations, so patients with related clinical needs are located in closer proximity. For example, the cardiac surgery intensive care unit is located next to the cardiac surgery step down unit, making the flow of patients more efficient and the care of patients seamless, and with improved outcomes.
"When nurses have competencies to address particular patient populations, we know that they provide more proactive care based on anticipated needs; this drives quality and minimizes complications," said HUP CEO Regina Cunningham, PhD, RN. "Members of the clinical teams need to communicate with one another. When you work in geographic proximity, it enhances communications and care."
The state-of-the-art two-floor emergency department (ED) in the Pavilion incorporates the system already in place at HUP, and has the capacity to deliver quicker, more efficient patient care.

Bringing Research and Clinical Care Together
The Pavilion was designed to help accelerate bench-to-bedside research and incorporates state-of-the-art technologies for caregivers
In the center of a vibrant clinical and research campus, the Pavilion is a centerpiece of Penn Medicine's world-class expertise in bold approaches to treating diseases of all kinds, from cell and gene therapies to specialized cardiac surgeries. Additionally, the Pavilion brings neuroscience research and neurological care closer together through an advanced epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU) and a human neurophysiology research lab — offering highly personalized, real-time care and opportunities to advance research.
The Pavilion also stands as an epicenter for cellular therapy. Patients in the Pavilion can be treated with personalized cell therapy products — made just for them in our sophisticated, connected manufacturing facilities — for cancer, autoimmune disorders, diabetes and a host of other diseases being studied.
Collaborative teams also work together in hybrid OR and procedure rooms to offer patients participation in trials of the most leading-edge approaches to treat cardiac conditions, from electrophysiology to the latest minimally invasive surgeries.
