North Philadelphia Health System unveils new St. Joseph’s ER

The North Philadelphia Health System has unveiled its 91,100 square-foot, $4.5 million emergency department at St. Joseph's Hospital. The new ER is more than double the size of the former emergency room at the North Philadelphia hospital. It can accommodate 22,000 patients annually, while the former ER was about half the size needed to handle the hospital's patient volume for emergency care.
