Elijah Dowling sported a onesie bearing the sentiment 无毛视频淣ew Around Here无毛视频� while his mom, Rhiannon Jackson, held him Tuesday, one day after he was born at UPMC Magee-Womens in UPMC Washington.
Elijah无毛视频檚 birth wasn无毛视频檛 the only event the hospital celebrated Tuesday afternoon.
UPMC Washington held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark its latest expansion of services with UPMC.
UPMC Magee-Womens in Washington is expanding the presence of UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital无毛视频檚 women无毛视频檚 health services, bringing nationally recognized care closer to home for families in Washington County and surrounding communities.
UPMC Magee-Womens will offer specialized women无毛视频檚 health-care services including enhanced pre- and post-natal care and gynecological oncology services.
The goal is to keep women无毛视频檚 health services close to home, support women and families, and make sure women don无毛视频檛 have to travel to Pittsburgh or other areas to get the care they need.
无毛视频淲hen we joined UPMC in June 2024, we made a promise to the community to bring UPMC signature services to Washington and Greene counties, and we无毛视频檙e fulfilling that promise here today,无毛视频� said Brook Ward, president of UPMC Washington and UPMC Greene. 无毛视频淯PMC is here to grow with Washington and continue to deliver world-class care closer to home.无毛视频�
Ward noted UPMC committed to investing $300 million over 10 years into UPMC Washington and UPMC Greene for facility upgrades and program enhancements following their merger in June 2024.
The expansion of women无毛视频檚 health services is part of UPMC无毛视频檚 plan to make UPMC Washington a key regional hub, and the sixth hub of the UPMC system. Its footprint in Washington County also includes UPMC Children无毛视频檚, UPMC Heart and Vascular Institute, and UPMC Hillman Cancer Center.
Dr. Mackenzy Radolec, a Peters Township High School graduate who specializes in gynecologic oncology 无毛视频� which focuses on diagnosing and treating cancers of the female reproductive system, including ovarian, cervical, uterine, vaginal and vulvar cancers 无毛视频� said, 无毛视频淚t无毛视频檚 really exciting for me because I can now bring the specialized care that I trained for back to the community I grew up in.
无毛视频淭he same care I provide for patients with gynecological cancers that we give in Oakland, they can now get that same treatment much closer to home in Washington, so we perform surgery here to manage gynecologic cancers and we work closely with UPMC Hillman Cancer Center to administer radiation and chemotherapy, which means that women in this area can have comprehensive cancer care without having to travel to Pittsburgh,无毛视频� said Radolec. 无毛视频淣ot having to travel for treatment makes a big difference for patients, and you couple it with the fact that you无毛视频檙e getting treated by a health-care system that is nationally recognized and is known for gynecologic care, and that无毛视频檚 great.无毛视频�
More specialty services are planned for the future.
Annmarie Lyons, vice president of UPMC Magee-Womens Health Service LIne, said UPMC Magee-Womens 无毛视频渋s a name synonymous with excellence in women无毛视频檚 health, noting the hospital is consistently ranked among the top hospitals in the United States for women无毛视频檚 health and is home to one of the country无毛视频檚 largest obstetrics programs, delivering about 10,000 babies a year in the Pittsburgh area.
For Rhiannon Jackson, who delivered Elijah无毛视频檚 big brother, Cole, 4, at the hospital, there was never any doubt about where she would go for maternity care.
无毛视频淔or us to be able to drive down the street and have such a wonderful team, it means more than I can put into words,无毛视频� said Jackson. 无毛视频淲hen you无毛视频檙e here, there could be 20 women in this unit, but it feels like you无毛视频檙e the only person they无毛视频檙e focused on.无毛视频�
