Penn Medicine Rittenhouse is a rehabilitation and long-term acute-care facility in the Southwest Center City neighborhood of Philadelphia founded in 2007.[1] The current facility is owned by the University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS)[2] and operated by Good Shepherd Penn Partners.[3]

The space was formerly occupied by the Graduate Hospital, which opened in 1916, though medical care originally began on the site in 1889 under the name Philadelphia Polyclinic.
