UPMC helps patients and their physicians from around the world connect with our internationally renowned experts and health care services. With a focus on patient-centered care and cultural respect, our goal is to help make the journey to accessing care easier.
UPMC's traveling patient services initiative helps traveling patients connect with our world-renowned hospitals and specialty care centers in the United States, Italy, Ireland, and beyond. For some, it may mean travel to Pittsburgh, but for others, it could be a trip to a location closer to home. Regardless, our facilities are equipped to address the most complex clinical cases.
Physicians around the world can connect with specialists at UPMC facilities for teleconsultations, second opinions, and telemonitoring services. For patients needing to travel, UPMC can help with:
- Visa and travel logistics
- Translation services
- Housing and recreation
- Dietary and religious support
UPMC offers traveling patients a single point of contact to help navigate the UPMC network and provide the most advance care quickly and conveniently.
