The center will open Monday, November 15.
“UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh is consistently recognized as one of the top pediatric hospitals in the country by U.S. News & World Report. UPMC Western Maryland is fortunate to bring these much-needed services to children – right here in our community,” said Michele Martz, UPMC Western Maryland president. “This beautiful new Children's Specialty Care Center is the latest example of the benefit to our community resulting from our integration with UPMC. It is truly a unique resource for pediatric health care services in our region, and just the latest example of UPMC’s investment in improving access to care and services in our area.”
UPMC Children’s Specialty Care Center Cumberland is the first-of-its-kind for the western Maryland region and will offer convenient access to highly skilled specialists so families will not have to travel out of town for care. Pediatric specialists from UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh will travel to the center to provide outpatient services, including diagnostic evaluations and follow-up care. Services will include cardiology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, nephrology, neurology, and orthopaedics.
