At Allegheny Health Network (AHN), compassion and innovation meet. We bring together groundbreaking procedures, advanced technology, and the latest research to create new models of care that provide exceptional health care.
We’re focused on creating world-class, affordable health care close to home. In the last year or two, we’ve added more than 20 new facilities across western Pennsylvania. These include five new cancer centers, four neighborhood hospitals, expanded emergency departments at Saint Vincent and Jefferson hospitals, and a fifth Health + Wellness Pavilion.
And, we’ve opened a new 160-bed hospital in Wexford, as well as expanded our facilities at Allegheny General Hospital to house the new AHN Cancer Institute Academic Center.
With more than 200 active construction projects, we’re committed to improving access and quality of our services in the region.
The difference we make in the lives of our patients and their communities is #LivingProof.
