More reliable sources for bed count

I'm looking to update list of hospitals in Pennsylvania, specifically the bed counts for the three largest hospitals. I've looked at the American Hospital Directory (AHD) that is listed in this wikiproject, but I'd like to back up the numbers from another source if possible. The AHD would list Lehigh Valley Hospital–Cedar Crest as overtaking Thomas Jefferson University Hospital as the second largest hospital in Pennsylvania, but some other sources aren't backing that up.

Hi Alpaca,

When I work on hospital-related pages, I try to see if there is an official record of bed counts published by state government. As the state itself determines how many beds a hospital is allowed to use, this is usually the most accurate - and as far as I can tell, AHD often pulls from state sources. Some states don't have easily accessible records, but others do. For Pennsylvania, I believe I've located a good source for what you're doing.

The Pennsylvania Department of Health has a Hospital Reports webpage. You will likely find the bed count information you're looking for in either Report 2-A (Inpatient Hospital Unit Data) or Report 2-B (same thing except for federal and specialty hospitals). They have not updated the data for 2024 yet, the data there is for 2023.

I hope this helps! Mangocove (talk) 20:00, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

Indira IVF AfD Discussion

Requesting input on the AfD for Indira IVF at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Indira_IVF. This Indian fertility Hospital chain (150+ centres) has updated coverage, including a 2025 IPO filing (NDTV Profit), a $1.1 billion acquisition (Economic Times), and healthcare impact (Economic Times, 2024). Discussion leans "delete" for lacking WP:NCORP depth, but I argue it meets WP:ORGCRIT with significant hospital-related coverage. Seeking neutral views—does this qualify as notable in a healthcare context? MH-wiki2025 (talk) 08:31, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

Affiliated university

For some hospitals, the affiliated university parameter in the infobox is obvious (like Vanderbilt University Medical Center being affiliated with Vanderbilt University School of Medicine). But for some other hospitals, the affiliations are not as clear. For example, St. Rose Dominican Hospital – San Martín Campus has UNLV listed as the affiliated university even though I can't find any such affiliation agreement. Or Houston Methodist Hospital, which only has Cornell listed as the affiliated university even though it is also the home of the Texas A&M EnMed program. Is there a central database where this info can be found?  Bait30  ^{Talk 2 me pls?} 04:02, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

That's a good question. I don't think there is a central database of all hospitals with their university affiliations. CMS has a list of teaching hospitals but does not specify their affiliated universities. I found a pretty decent list of hospitals with their affiliated unis published by the Association of American Medical Colleges, however I believe this only includes members of said organization. Hopefully this helps! Mangocove (talk) 16:59, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
