CUMBERLAND — UPMC Western Maryland was recently recognized by U.S. News & World Report as “High Performing” in four specialty services areas — heart bypass surgery, heart attack, pacemaker implantation and hip fracture.
“We are very proud to be recognized by U.S. News and & World Report for being high performing in several key areas,” said UPMC Western Maryland President Michele Martz. “This national recognition highlights our ongoing commitment to high-quality care for our patients and the communities we serve. Our incredible, dedicated team of staff and physicians create the outstanding care and experiences UPMC Western Maryland is known to deliver.”
The annual Best Hospitals rankings and High Performing Procedures & Conditions ratings are designed to assist patients and their doctors in making informed decisions about where to receive care for challenging health conditions or for common conditions and elective procedures. These ratings extend the U.S. News mission of providing consumers with patient decision support beyond the Best Hospitals rankings, which are geared toward complex specialty care.
