- Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania
The Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania ("HUP") is a hospital affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania Health System located in the University City section of West Philadelphia. The hospital was founded at its current location in 1874 by the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, making it the oldest university-owned teaching hospital in the country. [ [http://pennhealth.com/perelman/building/history.html#3 History of the hospital's location] ] For 2008, U.S. News & World Report ranked HUP as #10 on its list of the best hospitals in the nation.

HUP operates a Level I Trauma Center which includes PennSTAR, a fleet of 6 helicopters used to transport critically injured patients to the hospital. PennSTAR serves eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware.
The hospital is located on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania with several other health related organizations including a medical school, a nursing school, veterinary and dental medicine schools, research laboratories and outpatient facilities. The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia is also on this campus, but although it engages in many collaborative efforts with Penn, CHOP is not technically part of the Penn Health System.
