    Jefferson Abington Hospital is the flagship hospital of Jefferson Health–Abington (part of Jefferson Health), located in Abington Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, in the northern suburbs of Philadelphia.

    The hospital was formerly known as Abington Hospital–Jefferson Health (circa 2015 to 2020), and before that it was long known, throughout its first century, as Abington Memorial Hospital (AMH).

    About

    The hospital has 665 beds and over 5,500 employees, including more than 1,100 physicians, and is one of the largest employers in Montgomery County. It has the Pennock Emergency Trauma Center, an emergency department with the only Level II trauma center in Montgomery County. Other services offered at the hospital include The Heart and Vascular Institute, The Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson Health-Abington, Neurosciences Institute, Orthopaedic and Spine Institute, Diamond Stroke Center, Muller Institute for Senior Health, and the Institute for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. Jefferson Abington Hospital is a non-profit, regional referral center and teaching hospital with five residency programs and operates the Dixon School of Nursing. The hospital also has pharmacy residency programs in pharmacy practice, infectious diseases, and critical care.

    History

    According to legend, George W. Elkins, a landowner in Abington Township, often took people injured in area car accidents to Philadelphia. When someone died of their injuries on their way, it prompted him to get together with fifty people to raise funds to establish a hospital in Abington. The hospital was dedicated in 1913 as a memorial to Elkins' first wife Stella McIntire. Abington Memorial Hospital opened on May 15, 1914.

    In October 2007, Abington Memorial purchased Warminster Hospital from Solis Healthcare, who had acquired it from Tenet Healthcare two months prior. Following the acquisition, the emergency department and inpatient services at Warminster Hospital were closed, and the facility was converted into an outpatient facility called Abington Health Center-Warminster. In October 2008, Abington Memorial purchased Central Montgomery Medical Center, formerly North Penn Hospital, in Lansdale from Universal Health Services. It was later renamed Lansdale Hospital.

    In October 2014, Abington Health and Jefferson Health (the latter of which owns Thomas Jefferson University Hospital) announced an intention to merge. An agreement was reached in January 2015, and the merger was completed on May 4, 2015, resulting in Abington-Jefferson Health (now known as Jefferson Health-Abington).
