Business Profile

www.pinnaclehealth.org

Our Vision: To provide high-quality, patient-centered medical care when and
where patients need it, through a highly integrated network of physicians and
facilities. This model results in lower readmissions, better outcomes, increased
access, and added convenience for people in our community.
Who We Are: UPMC Pinnacle is a nationally recognized leader in providing
high-quality, patient-centered healthcare services in central Pennsylvania and
surrounding rural communities. Its more than 2,900 physicians allied health
professionals and approximately 11,000 employees serve a 10-county area at
outpatient facilities and eight acute care hospitals with 1,360 licensed beds: UPMC
Carlisle, UPMC Community Osteopathic, UPMC Hanover, UPMC Harrisburg,
UPMC Lancaster, UPMC Lititz, UPMC Memorial, and UPMC West Shore. The
not-for-profit system anticipates caring for more than 1.2 million area residents in
FY 2018.
Our History: The Harrisburg Hospital was officially founded in 1873, and
throughout the decades, expanded its reach to include the Polyclinic Hospital,
Osteopathic Hospital (now UPMC Community Osteopathic), and Seidle
Memorial Hospital to better serve residents on the East and West Shores. In 2017,
we purchased four local hospitals through the Tennessee-based Community Health
System acquisition, affiliated with Hanover Hospital, and joined the University of
Pittsburgh Medical Center system to become UPMC Pinnacle.
Since the very beginning, our commitment to excellence has never wavered. With
national and regional recognitions for high-quality care including volumes, UPMC
Pinnacle aims to make the system a great place for employees to work, physicians to
practice medicine, and patients to receive care that includes access to the latest
technology and leading clinical trials.
Our Partner: UPMC Pinnacle has been a Valued Business Partner of Belco
since 1994. Belco has an on-site branch at UPMC Pinnacle’s Brady Hall building,
as well as several ATMs at other UPMC Pinnacle campuses. Additionally, Belco
attends new employee orientations at
all campuses, participates with
employee appreciation events and
nurses expos, hosts financial education
seminars, supports the hospital
auxiliary, and provides first baby of the
year baskets, among other activities.
