Allegheny General Hospital
Allegheny General Hospital is a large urban hospital located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and is part of the larger Allegheny Health Network. It is the first hospital in Pennsylvania to be designated as a Level 1 shock trauma center and was also the first hospital in the northeastern United States to offer an aeromedical service.
The hospital began as a 50-bed infirmary in 1882 and has grown over the years to become a 576-bed quaternary care and educational hospital. It is Allegheny Health Network’s highest-volume hospital, with 24,000 inpatient admissions, 23,000 surgeries, and nearly 56,000 emergency department visits each year.
Over the last five years, the hospital has built a new orthopaedic center, a new cardiovascular intensive care unit, a new cardiac MRI center, new hybrid operating rooms and a new surgical arts center. In 2018, construction began on a new academic cancer center on the AGH campus.
