View Frankford Hospitals job listings. The story of Frankford Hospitals began in 1902, when a resident of the Frankford section of Philadelphia contracted typhoid fever. The patient's physician, Dr. Joseph Ball, couldn’t find a single hospital in the city to admit his seriously ill patient. Not one of the downtown hospitals had an available bed.When Dr. Ball learned other Northeast physicians were also having their patients turned away, he began an effort to establish a community hospital that would provide convenient, high-quality medical care to his neighbors. Named after the neighborhood it would first serve, Frankford Hospital - Frankford opened its doors on the fourth of July, 1903. During the following 96 years, Frankford expanded upon Dr. Ball’s founding vision. Over the decades, the Hospital introduced many new services to better meet the health needs of its growing communities. As the Hospital’s service area grew and flourished, Frankford responded by opening a second site in 1977. Almost immediately, Frankford Hospital - Torresdale was operating at full capacity, meeting the healthcare needs of families from the Far Northeast and Lower Bucks County. And, when many families Frankford Hospital had been serving for generations began relocating to Bucks County in the 1980s and 1990s, the Hospital again sought better ways to serve them. In March 1999, Frankford acquired Delaware Valley Medical Center and turned it into its third inpatient site - Frankford Hospital - Bucks County. Today, Frankford’s focus on its founding philosophy is clearer than ever before. Now, our physicians, nurses and support personnel provide advanced care at three modern inpatient facilities and three outpatient sites - all of which are equipped with highly sophisticated technology. And, just like when the Hospital was founded nearly a century ago, each Frankford location still customizes its health services to meet the unique needs of its neighbors.View Frankford Hospitals job listings. | |
