The hospital is a part of the UPMC Health System, which is the largest health care system in this part of the state and all faculty are appointed to the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. In addition, UPMC Passavant also has a 36 bed satellite hospital in Cranberry Township that is located ten miles away from the main institution.
