Chestnut Hill Hospital was not cited for safety violations in the one-year period.
Chestnut Hill Hospital was not cited by the Pennsylvania Department of Health for any safety violations between April 2025 and March of this year.
The Philadelphia-based hospital is majority-owned by Temple Health, which holds an 80% share in a partnership with Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine.
Here’s a look at the publicly available details:
May 21, 2025: Inspectors came to investigate a complaint but found the hospital was in compliance. Complaint details are not made public when inspectors determine it was unfounded.
July 7: Inspectors came to investigate a complaint but found the hospital was in compliance.
Aug. 15: The Joint Commission, a nonprofit hospital accreditation agency, renewed the hospital’s accreditation, effective June 2025, for 36 months.
Pennsylvania Department of Health routinely inspects hospitals to ensure the facility is safe for patients and that staff are following all safety protocols. Inspectors may also visit when a hospital staff member or patient files a complaint.
Not all safety violations spark an on-site investigation from inspectors. Hospitals are required to self-report the most serious safety violations and often work directly with the state to address them. Complaint details are not made public when inspectors determine it was unfounded.
