Still a bit subjective because all of Penn Medicine's history(first medical school, first hospital, first teaching hospital) trumps every where else since they were models.

Just popping this up to see if the OP is focused on which city has the better hospital system or if he has other priorities. I don't want the conversation to go off topic if that's not the information he needs.
