With the merger complete, WCA Hospital has been renamed UPMC Chautauqua WCA. Under the merger agreement, UPMC has committed to invest at least $25 million in UPMC Chautauqua WCA over the next 10 years. UPMC also assumed the hospital’s debt and pension obligations.
“This is a big win for our community,” said Steve Kilburn, chair of the WCA Hospital board of directors and newly appointed member of the UPMC Chautauqua WCA board. “At a time when hospitals across New York State are challenged with unprecedented pressures, our local hospital has joined a world-class healthcare system. As a result of this integration, we believe that our hospital will be stronger and that services will grow in the years to come.”
