What We Do

We work together each day to improve our care for you and your family. This means fewer mistakes and tests, lower costs, quicker recovery, strong support, an easier move home, and better health in the long run.

We want to work closely with you, your family, and your care team. Our goal is to support you fully and involve you in making decisions about your care.

We also make sure every person gets the care they need. We do this by working with the Disabilities Resource Center.

At UPMC, we think it's vital to tell you how we're doing. This helps you make the best choices for your health care. When you and your family are more involved in your care, things often turn out better.
