Cardiopulmonary Services

UPMC Kane has partnered with UPMC Hamot to bring our community high-quality heart care close to home. While care should be delivered locally whenever possible, our connection with UPMC Hamot provides improved access and a seamless transition to highly specialized services when a higher level of care is necessary.
