Information for Visitors and Support Persons
At UPMC Shadyside, it is important to us that you feel as prepared as possible before your appointment or procedure, or if you are visiting a loved one.
Our Patient and Visitor Resources are meant to provide you with the information you need, no matter what your reason is for coming to UPMC Shadyside.
We provide information for patients that will help relieve the stress of getting ready for a trip to the hospital.
We also provide guidance on what to expect while patients are at the hospital and what to do after their stay.
We offer information for families and visitors, whose presence is essential to the healing process of our patients. We want them to feel as welcome as possible while they are visiting their loved ones, so we provide details on our services and amenities as well as help in finding a place to stay and how to get around the city.
