 For
more than four decades, UPMC Passavant has cared for more of its
neighbors than any other hospital in the north suburbs of Pittsburgh.
Located 12 miles north of Pittsburgh in McCandless Township, UPMC
Passavant is a 324-bed facility serving northern Allegheny County and
southwestern Butler County. From its inception in 1849, the hospital
has been dedicated to meeting the total health needs of its community
through accessible services and quality care. Now a part of the
University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Health System, UPMC Passavant
is undergoing a broad expansion of both services and facilities to
ensure that the community’s health needs are met well into the future.
UPMC Passavant offers services in all medical specialties and many
subspecialties. Its centers of emphasis include cardiac, cancer,
emergency medicine, musculoskeletal, and gastroenterology services.
Its cardiac services range from the most basic testing to advanced
open-heart surgeries, including endoscopic vein harvesting, to
rehabilitative care.
In addition to these services, UPMC Passavant features intensive,
progressive and subacute care units, surgical services, physical and
occupational therapy departments and centers for sleep disorders, pain
management, and speech, voice, and swallowing. It also offers various
community education programs and health information through the
Healthy Lifestyle Center. Through its expansion initiatives, the
hospital campus also boasts three new nursing pavilions, each
consisting of 31 private patient rooms which enable patients to enjoy
the luxury of recovering with privacy, comfort and quiet.
With more than 1,400 employees, UPMC Passavant is the largest employer
in the region north of Pittsburgh. In addition, the medical staffs of
both UPMC Passavant and UPMC Passavant Cranberry have combined to form
a single medical staff with admitting privileges at both facilities.
These 600-plus physicians share the hospital’s commitment to combining
technological sophistication with personal and compassionate care.
