America’s oldest hospital and the future of brain science

Growing from its origins in progressive mental health care, Pennsylvania Hospital is shaping the future of advanced care for neurological diseases. In 1751, Benjamin Franklin and Dr. Thomas Bond opened Pennsylvania Hospital with a promise to provide compassionate care to people in need—including patients with mental ailments. At a time when mental illness was viewed through a lens of superstition or moral failing, Pennsylvania Hospital’s Dr. Benjamin Rush argued that patients were not possessed but suffering from diseases of the mind. His ideas helped lay the foundation for modern psychiatry and cemented Pennsylvania Hospital’s reputation as a leader in treating disorders of the mind and brain.
