Aramark, University of Pennsylvania Health System enter multi-year agreement

Aramark (ARMK) and the University of Pennsylvania Health System announced a new multi-year agreement beginning in early 2026 to provide patient and retail food, environmental services, patient transportation, and an integrated call center to support these operations at sites across the nearly 4,000-bed, seven-hospital system. “We are honored to partner with a world-renowned health system that is such an integral part of what makes the Philadelphia area great. This collaboration is truly a benefit for the region and for the thousands of patients, visitors, and employees we’ll be able to serve together each year,” said Marc Bruno, Aramark’s U.S. COO. “This opportunity represents the second largest contract in the company’s history, and the largest in the U.S., and we are proud to put our understanding of the sophisticated needs of a complex healthcare system to work in new settings.”
