Ioannis Pashakis//June 23, 2021
Urology of Central PA (UCPA), a urology practice with locations in Camp Hill, Newport and Millersburg and a surgery center in Harrisburg, will be joining UPMC as UPMC Urology of Central PA on July 1.
The Pittsburgh-based health system announced on Wednesday that the practice would be joining its network of providers along with its Harrisburg-based UCPA Surgery Center, which will be renamed to UPMC Community Surgery Center.
UCPA specializes in the surgical and non-surgical treatment of urological conditions, including pediatric cases.
“Urology of Central PA providers have a stellar reputation and long history of providing top quality, convenient urologic care. We are pleased to welcome these compassionate and skilled specialists to our UPMC network,” said Philip Guarneschelli, president of UPMC in Central Pa.
Both providers and transitioning staff will become UPMC employees on July 1 with no changes for existing and new patients who already have appointments with the practice.
No changes are expected regarding phone numbers, hours of operations or existing locations either, according to UPMC.
“UPMC and the providers at Urology of Central PA share common interests and core values including patient-centered, quality urologic care,” said Dr. R. Scott Owens, of Urology of Central PA. “By working with UPMC in a new capacity, we can provide additional services to patients through advanced technology, increased comprehensive care for chronic and acute illnesses, additional specialists, and access to health education, programs and other services.”
