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.

Pennsylvania Just Triggered a 50-Year-Old Law to Keep Jefferson Health In-Network

The Jefferson Health insurance fight got a new development this week — and a new deadline that matters more than the one everyone is watching. Pennsylvania’s insurance department announced it will invoke Act 94, a 1975 consumer protection law, if Independence Blue Cross and Highmark don’t reach new contracts with Jefferson Health by December 31. The law gives the state power to freeze a termination for up to six months and force the parties into a formal process. It has only been used twice in its entire history. — Pennsylvania Insurance Department (Philadelphia Inquirer, November 6, 2026)
