UPMC Magee-Women's Hospital, known simply as Magee-Womens Hospital, is a nationally ranked, 335-bed non-profit, full service specialty hospital located in the South Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States.^[1] Magee-Womens is a part of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC).^[2] The hospital is near UPMC's flagship campus which houses Presbyterian and Montefiore. While the hospital is UPMC's primary facility for women's health, the hospital is a full service hospital that also serves men. As the hospital is a teaching hospital, it is affiliated with University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.^[3]

History

History of Magee goes back to the early 1900s when on January 19, 1911, Mrs. Alfred Birdsall delivered the first baby at a makeshift hospital in the former home of Christopher Magee.^[4] The hospital is built on the grounds of the home of legendary Pittsburgh political boss Christopher Magee and named in honor of his mother, Elizabeth Steel Magee.^[5]

In 1931, Magee Hospital and the University of Pittsburgh created an agreement to establish a 28-bed teaching unit at the hospital.^[6] In 1962 Magee Hospital merged with Pittsburgh Woman's Hospital, and became Magee-Womens Hospital.^[7]

The hospital merged with UPMC in 1999. In 2011 the hospital undertook an expansion of its main facility which was completed in June, 2012.^[8] The expansion added six floors, increased the number of beds from 318 to 335 (including 14 additional intensive care rooms), and expanded the surgical and ambulatory facilities.^[6][9]
