• Health Sciences Campus: Located in North Philadelphia specifically spanning broad street from Allegheny to Venago streets. With two hospitals (pediatrics and teaching), a pharmacy college, a nursing college and a dental college it has a strong reputation for integrating all areas of health care into one fluent system.
