UPMC, OIP open orthopaedic clinic in York County
UPMC and Orthopedic Institute of Pennsylvania (OIP) have opened a clinic in York County.
According to a release, the new clinic is a response to York County’s growing population and the fact that one in two Americans will need care for an orthopaedic condition in their lifetime.
Located 520 Greenbriar Road in York, the clinic will welcome patients on April 6 and will be staffed by 16 physicians and 10 advanced practice providers Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Walk-in appointments for urgent orthopaedic injuries will be available. Patients seen at this location who need surgical procedures will be scheduled at UPMC Memorial.
“For the first time, residents of York have close-to-home access to our advanced orthopaedic services,” Brett Himmelwright, general orthopedist and medical director of OIP in York County, said in a statement. “This new clinic and our partnership with UPMC Memorial give patients more choice in who provides their orthopaedic care.”
UPMC and OIP partnered earlier this year to deliver musculoskeletal services together, ensuring patients across Central Pennsylvania are receiving care.
“By bringing together the strengths of OIP and UPMC, we’re able to provide patients with the care they need to thrive after debilitating orthopaedic injuries,” said Karen Wastler, president, UPMC Memorial. “Our hospital provides OIP surgeons and patients with access to the latest surgical technology, dedicated surgical services and support staff, and spacious, modern facilities for recovery.”
Orthopaedic specialists at UPMC and OIP offer services for the full musculoskeletal system including conditions of the foot, ankle, knee, spine, hand, elbow, and shoulder. Per the release, they see patients with traumatic injuries, arthritis joint pain, bone fractures, carpal tunnel syndrome, conditions like clubfoot and scoliosis, and soft tissue injuries. Sports medicine providers treat injuries resulting from sports and exercise, like bone, joint and muscle injuries, in after-hours Walk-in Orthopaedic Injury Clinics from UPMC and OIP across the area.
