Headline writer is annoying; made me think this was about Pennsylvania Hospital rather than A Pennsylvania hospital.

To be fair, I did not know that there was a hospital that was itself called “Pennsylvania Hospital”, and I would assume that most Pennsylvanians outside of the Philly area would be similarly ignorant of that fact. That said, it is always good for journalists to learn when they are corrected on it, so that this mistake which may have confused the millions who are aware of the “Pennsylvania Hospital” will not repeat

Yes, not a lot of people know of it. It happens to be the oldest hospital in Pennsylvania, and the 3rd oldest in the USA.
