Condition Help

UPMC created Condition Help to protect the safety of our patients in the hospital.

It's a resource for UPMC Passavant patients or family members to call:

  • In an emergency.
  • When a patient can't get the attention of the health care team.
  • With a concern about a noticeable change in a patient’s medical condition that the health care team is not recognizing.
  • About a breakdown in how the team is giving care or confusion over what care a patient needs.

To access Condition Help, dial 111 from any UPMC Passavant hospital phone. Calling Condition Help will get an immediate response from staff members to the patient’s bedside.
