UPMC Pinnacle completed the latest addition to its UPMC Memorial campus this week with the opening of its new five-story outpatient center.
The 120,000-square-foot UPMC Outpatient Center was built alongside the hospital system’s new UPMC Memorial hospital at 1703 Innovation Drive in West Manchester Township and opened one month after the adjacent hospital.
The outpatient facility opened on Monday and offers cardiac and pulmonary rehab, a sleep lab, infusion and oncology services, imaging services, various outpatient surgical procedures and health and vascular specialists.
“We are so pleased to launch this next phase of the new UPMC Memorial campus project and make the UPMC Outpatient Center’s services available to the community,” said Philip Guarneschelli, president and CEO of UPMC Pinnacle. “The state-of-the art setting befits our new relationships and new services and allows us to further our goal of providing exceptional outpatient care for the York community.”
The center offers surgical services by Leader Surgical Associates-UPMC, an outpatient surgery center previously partnered with WellSpan Health that joined UPMC in August.
Leader offers outpatient surgical care such as colonoscopies, hernia treatment and pediatric surgery through a new independent ambulatory surgical facility with eight operating rooms.
UPMC’s Hillman Cancer Center, a Pittsburgh based National Cancer Institute, has partnered with Leader to also provide oncology services at the facility.
“By bringing UPMC Hillman Cancer Center services to York, we are giving access to groundbreaking research and clinical trials underway at UPMC Hillman in Pittsburgh where hundreds of scientists are working on new discoveries in cancer,” Guarneschelli said. “Often these trials and can be brought to patients right here in our community.”
Patients who need inpatient services will still be treated at UPMC Memorial, the 102-bed private-room hospital that opened on Aug. 18.
