UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital

The history of Magee dates back to the early 1900s when on January 19, 1911, Mrs. Alfred Birdsall delivered a baby at a makeshift hospital in the former home of politician Christopher Magee. Magee Hospital was built on the grounds of Magee's home and named in honor of his mother, Elizabeth Steel Magee. In 1931, Magee Hospital and the University of Pittsburgh created an agreement to establish a 28-bed teaching unit at the hospital. The hospital merged with UPMC in 1999. In 2011, the hospital undertook an expansion of its main facility, which was completed in June 2012. 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. == About ==
