PITTSBURGH —
UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh opened its heart institute Thursday, marking a new chapter in cardiac care for children.
The three-story, 50,000-square-foot expansion will improve coordination of their teams and make care easier for families.
The $85 million project brings advanced cardiac services together under one roof, with imaging technology, cath labs, recovery space, and expanded inpatient and outpatient care.
“This new space is built for the families who will come after mine — families who may be hearing a diagnosis for the first time, families who are feeling overwhelmed and worried, families who need a place that gives them hope,” said Owen Taylor, a patient.
Two floors are now open, and more clinical and rehab space is opening next year, serving everyone from newborns with congenital heart disease to children and adults with the most complex heart conditions.
