UPMC Mercy was founded as The Mercy Hospital of Pittsburgh in 1847 by the Sisters of Mercy. It was the city's first hospital and the first Mercy Hospital in the world. On Jan.1, 2008, Mercy merged with UPMC and was renamed UPMC Mercy. Today, UPMC Mercy, a licensed, 535-bed acute care hospital in Uptown Pittsburgh is the region's largest, faith-based acute care, academic, and research hospital.
UPMC Mercy maintains its founders’ dedication to state-of-the-art, high-quality, compassionate care—a commitment typified by its progressive programs in emergency medicine, trauma and burn care, cardiovascular services, and the neurosciences. UPMC Mercy specializes in providing neurology, neurosurgery, and advanced treatments for strokes through its certified Primary Stroke Center; cardiology, cardiovascular and thoracic surgery services; trauma and burn services through its Level I Regional Resource Trauma Center and comprehensive Burn Center; orthopaedics; physical medicine and rehabilitation, including acquired brain injury rehabilitation; obstetrics and gynecology, including maternal-fetal medicine and a Level 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit; ophthalmology; ENT; and inpatient behavioral health services. Other services include emergency care, medical and surgical care; medical, surgical, and radiation oncology; diabetes; wound services; and more. Convenient outpatient services are offered at UPMC Mercy’s outpatient centers in Brentwood and Green Tree.
UPMC Mercy’s Department of Emergency Medicine (DEM) treats approximately 47,000 patients a year through its main Emergency Department, Pediatric Emergency Center, Urgent Care Center, and embedded 24-Hour Evaluation and Referral Center (psychiatric ED). The DEM supports training in ultrasonography and emergency department management as an integral part of the resident's experience. These resources, combined with UPMC Mercy's tradition of excellence in medical education and research, create a rich and stimulating training environment for the emergency medicine resident.
In addition to the jointly-sponsored emergency medicine residency program, the hospital sponsors other graduate medical education programs and a diploma school of nursing, the Mercy Hospital School of Nursing.
About 660 physicians are affiliated with UPMC Mercy and the hospital employs 2,800 full-time equivalents.
