The celebrations at UPMC Magee-Womens in Central PA. are extra special this year because UPMC Harrisburg, UPMC Lititz, UPMC Memorial and UPMC Carlisle, all part of the UPMC Magee-Womens network, have been recognized as a 2023-2024 High Performing Hospital for Maternity Care (Uncomplicated Pregnancy) by U.S. News & World Report.
