North Philadelphia Health System NPHS was incorporated in August of 1990 as a Pennsylvania nonprofit corporation to own and operate Girard Medical Center GMC and St Josephs Hospital SJH collectively the Hospitals after both filed plans of reorganization in their respective Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases
