Our Story

The beginnings of Life Changing Medicine at UPMC can be traced back a century ago in Pittsburgh, a city whose story, like ours, is full of resilience and innovation.

Over the last 20 years, UPMC has come into its own, ushering in a new era of health care excellence in Pittsburgh and beyond. Each step of the way, we’ve made it our goal to take health care from where it is to where it needs to be by creating a future built on ideas, innovations, and care.
