In 1999, the Aria Health system acquired Delaware Valley Medical Center, which is now called Jefferson Bucks Hospital. It is a 112-bed hospital located in Langhorne, Pennsylvania.[10]
Aria Health sought to build a new 229-bed facility in Lower Makefield, Pennsylvania, to replace Bucks County Hospital. Local residents opposed this project, due to concerns about traffic congestion.[11] In 2013, Aria Health proposed news plans for a "health care village," a facility offering multiple health care services, which may have lower impact on the environment and traffic congestion.[12]
