	Pennsylvania Hospital - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1950 Pennsylvania Hospital was recognized for becoming more highly specialized as it established, in addition to its sophisticated maternity programs, an intensive care unit for neurological patients, a coronary care unit, an orthopaedic institute, a diabetes center, a hospice, specialized units in oncology and urology and broadened surgical programs.
		Patients were brought to the hospital for treatment in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War and the Spanish American War and units from the hospital were sent abroad to treat wounded in World War I and in World War II (to the Pacific theater).
		In 1987 Pennsylvania Hospital had two obstetrical firsts: the first Birthing Suite in a tertiary care hospital in the state was opened, and the first gestational carrier and egg donor programs in the Delaware Valley were begun to complement the hospital's existing fertility services.

		Pennsylvania relied on the fact that HCFA used the phrase "to live" (in the definition of "in an institution") without specifying that this included receiving room and board on a temporary basis.
		Pennsylvania also alleged that there was no evidence here that the services were provided to individuals who had given up any residence outside of the institution, and concluded that the Board should find that the patients were not "admitted to live" in the IMDs and thus were not within the IMD exclusion.
