Lou Baverso
President
UPMC in Central PA
Baverso has served in his current position since September 2022. He has more than 25 years services with UPMC and previously served as UPMC in Central PA COO, and president, UPMC Harrisburg, UPMC West Shore and UPMC Community Osteopathic. UPMC in Central PA includes seven acute care hospitals, 200+ outpatient clinics and ancillary facilities, more than 2,900 physicians and allied health professionals, and 13,400 employees. In his role as president of UPMC in Central PA, Baverso leads its regional efforts to build out services, deliver high-quality care to area residents, and appreciate and recognize partnering providers and UPMC employees for their critical roles in delivering that care.
“We continuously work to improve the experience of our patients and employees, and one opportunity to do so is to address the shortage of talent in health care fields. Our UPMC Scholars Program and workforce development efforts are cultivating skills and spurring education right here in our community through partnerships with area higher-education organizations to help individuals get work-ready. We are excited about our continued work on this initiative and our new programs and relationships in 2023,” Baverso says.
