The building will be located between the main hospital and the women’s health facility.

“When the new facility is complete, UPMC’s investment in UPMC Hamot will have exceeded $300 million in capital and physician recruitment since our affiliation in 2011,” said David Gibbons, COO of UPMC Hamot. “Presently, 30 percent of our patients live outside of Erie County. It’s important that our plans include future growth projections as that number will only increase as we expand our services and specialties.”
