- It’s Official: Frankford Signs with JHS as Founding Member
On Tuesday, October 6, leadership of Frankford Health Care System (FHCS) and Jefferson
Health System (JHS) signed a definitive agreement establishing FHCS as a founding member
of JHS. Under this new relationship, FHCS will share equal voting privileges on the JHS
Board with the system’s three other founding members: Thomas Jefferson University
Hospital, Main Line Health System and Albert Einstein Healthcare Network.
- Magee Rehabilitation Finalizes JHS Membership
Magee Rehabilitation’s affiliation with the Jefferson Health System (JHS), has been
solidified now that final regulatory and other approvals have been given.
“Magee can become a full member of Jefferson Health System and the recently formed
Jefferson Rehabilitation Network, now that the Philadelphia County Orphans’ Court has
confirmed Magee’s membership,” said William E. Staas Jr., MD, Magee’s
President and Medical Director.
“Magee’s affiliation with JHS will allow us to continue our mission to be a
leading community resource for people with disabilities as well as for rehabilitation
professionals,” Dr. Staas said.
The affiliation with JHS required the sanction of the Orphans’ Court because of a
revision in the trustee’s will, Dr. Staas explained. The Orphans’ Court oversees
the assets of nonprofit organizations. In addition, the Court wanted to ensure that Magee
will continue to accept patients from various hospitals and health systems and return
patients to their referring institutions.

the former Best department store into a full-service “medi-plex” with
physicians’ offices, health and wellness programs, senior services and an independent
fitness center.
