PITTSBURGH - Babies will no longer be delivered at UPMC Mercy Hospital, with inpatient womens health, obstetrics and neonatal intensive care transitioning to UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital.
The transition will happen in early March, according to a news release from UPMC.
With the construction of the new UPMC Vision and Rehabilitation Hospital set to break ground in coming months -- in addition to many high-quality specialized patient care services including rehabilitation services, a new digestive health center and enhanced treatment for addiction -- UPMC Mercy is poised to significantly grow clinical services, the news release said.
Nearly 9,000 babies are delivered each year at UPMC Magee, which is less than two miles from UPMC Mercy, according to UPMC. The hospitals neonatal intensive care unit treats almost 2,000 seriously or critically ill babies every year.
The safe and appropriate transition of care for our pregnant patients to Magee is a very high priority. We are working with each pregnant patient currently under the care of Mercy clinicians to thoroughly plan for her new delivery location, Richard Beigi, M.D., president of UPMC Magee, said.
Mercy Hospital was founded by Catholic Nuns from the Sisters of Mercy order. About fifteen years ago they were running out of money. They bought into a scheme to turn the hospital over to UMPC while maintaining that it would remain marginally Catholic.
Some of the boilerplate of that agreement stipulates that UPMC could not perform abortions at Mercy.
Well, there is more than one way to skin a cat as they say. More abortions are done at Magee than anyplace between Philadelphia and Chicago probably.
Once again it's Charlie Brown and the Football. Baby killers simply won't be denied.
Satan rules this world which is why evil seems to always prevail. But Judgement Day is coming.
Babies will no longer be delivered [ALIVE] at UPMC Mercy Hospital
I dont know about PA but New York justt had a raving address from. Cuomo where he was asking for abortion up to birth and demanding that all hospitals do this (as well as saying that abortionsts didnt even have to be doctors, but could be PAs or virtually anybody who said they were qualified).
Getting out of this preserves the hospital, but it loses the battle and results in the slaughter of the losers (unborn children). I think if we had a good pope, not AntiChrist Francis, wed be fighting this. But we dont. God preserve us. And make the victims attributive to Francis.
Probably cost too much to deliver anchor babies.
I couldn’t agree more. Mercy Hospital was bought out by UPMC several years ago. Magee does not have a problem killing innocent human beings. This was not the policy at Mercy Hospital, which “was” Catholic. Make sure the Catholic facility loses its ability to deliver babies. Send all the pregnant women to Magee, where “quality of life” judgments can be made on the unborn, so Magee can kill them if they wish.

The damned activist courts tell us how much of a hardship it is to tell a woman that she has to go elsewhere for an abortion.
These pregnant mothers should continue to go to Mercy and demand services.
Abort now or die.
Negligenece and malpractice by their Chief of Surgery eventually led to his death.
While there are some wonderful nurses and doctors there the over all level of care was very poor, uncaring and callous.
Like Duquesne Univ it's CINO-Catholic In Name Only.
I did not know about the abortions at UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital. All I know is that they have an excellent neo-natal unit.
Mercy has unfortunately become Pittsburgh’s inner-city ghetto hospital where all of the charity cases and gang shooting victims end up.
My daughter did a stint there as a nurse in the ER.
She was not impressed.
Despite this I maintain that UPMC is doing this to ensure they are free to pitch abortions to EVERY pregnant woman.
All US babies will have to be born in border state hospitals
Magee has an excellent neo-natal unit.
And they do lots of abortions.
The two things are not mutually exclusive.
Irony: The Mark of Quality Literature.
And when a woman in labor shows up on the doorstep?
Perhaps every woman who cannot afford their neo-natal care. There is far more money in herculean life-preserving measures than in an abortion.
Unless you are selling the parts...
And I thought I was cynical...
But you are probably right.
All I know is that subject of an abortion never came up when my wife was in their neo-natal unit.
didnt even have to be doctors, but could be PAs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PAs are doctors.
Was told by a nurse that UPMC wants it to be the hospital for Uptown and the Hill.
I had the police called on me and was arrested at McGee 40 years ago -— “disorderly conduct”-— for trying to counsel women against abortion...
