Despite Protests, UPMC Finally Closes Pittsburgh-Area Hospital

The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center closed Braddock (Pa.) General Hospital on Jan. 31, despite protests from residents who were concerned about losing local access to care, according to a release from UPMC.


UPMC said it has been losing $4-$12 million a year on the hospital, partly due to declining admissions.

The hospital opened in 1906 and was acquired by UPMC in 1996.
