Incorporated in 1881 and opened in 1892, Methodist serves patients in Philadelphia and the surrounding communities.[1]
Methodist Hospital was founded by Dr. Scott Stewart, a Methodist physician in Philadelphia, who dedicated $250,000 in his will to assist in building the hospital and a nursing school.
