UPMC hospitals remain open and fully operational following the weekend snowstorm.

All UPMC hospitals and emergency departments have continued to operate without interruption throughout the weekend, thanks to the dedication of our staff.

Patients scheduled for procedures or office visits on Monday should confirm their appointments before traveling. If you have not already heard from your physician’s office, please call or message your provider to verify your appointment or discuss options if you feel unsafe traveling. We are not able to confirm individual provider or location status via social media.

Most offices will be open as usual, and many can offer later appointments, virtual telemedicine visits, or reschedule for later in the week.

As always, if you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 immediately.

Stay safe!
