[1] Samaritan Hospital was founded by Grace Baptist of Philadelphia and its leader Russell Conwell.
Peter J. Liacouras, the president of Temple University at that time, and the board of trustees separated hospital-related activities with the creation of Temple University Health System (TUHS).
Northeastern Hospital became part of the health system in January 1995, but has since faced severe cuts to the services it provided.
