UPMC Northwest in Seneca, Cranberry Township, has 96 private rooms, including 30 that can be converted for semi-private occupancy, yielding as many as 126 beds. A one-story, 28-bed behavioral health building -- part of the UPMC Behavioral Health Network -- adjoins the hospital via an enclosed walkway. Future construction will bring more facilities to this site, including UPMC Northwest’s inpatient rehabilitation and transitional care units and a physician office building.

Plentiful free parking (950 spaces) and four entrances make the facilities readily accessible to patients and visitors. A convenient outpatient diagnostic center is located in the hospital for those who need outpatient laboratory and imaging exams. State-of-the-art treatment technology equips UPMC Northwest to meet our patients’ health care needs.

Behavioral Health
UPMC Northwest’s behavioral health building is a 28-bed facility featuring specialized therapeutic programs for adults and geriatric patients and a separate unit for teenage patients. Through the UPMC Behavioral Health Network, UPMC Northwest has a direct link to Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic.

• the Translogic Pneumatic Tube System which provides high-speed delivery of medications, lab specimens, and other items throughout the facility
