Halloween at UPMC Children's was full of fun and smiles! Our patients and their families loved dressing up, trick-or-treating, watching superhero window washers, and cheering for our adorable therapy dogs in the pup parade.

Events like these mean the world to us and they help our patients feel a sense of normalcy and joy, even when they’re spending the holiday in the hospital. Thanks to our amazing Child Life team for making these special moments possible and bringing so much joy to everyone.

Today, we recognize Genetic Counselor Appreciation Day! This annual celebration is dedicated to raising awareness about genetic counselors and the important role they play in health care teams.

Genetic counselors provide information and resources to families with confirmed or suspected genetic conditions. This includes helping identify family members at risk, empowering families to understand genetic conditions and their medical management plans, and providing supportive counseling to families.

At UPMC Children’s, we are fortunate to have 29 genetic counselors dedicated to working with patients and their families through clinical care and research. Please join us in appreciating our amazing team of genetic counselors!

UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh is excited to announce the opening of our second pediatric behavioral health walk-in clinic. Located at Children’s South in Bridgeville, the clinic provides a safe and welcoming environment for children and teens with mental health concerns to receive expert care.

“Mental health challenges among children and adolescents are rising, and families often struggle to find timely access to care. This second walk-in clinic provides an immediate, compassionate point of access for kids who need support right away,” says Abigail Schlesinger, MD, clinical chief of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Integrated Care at UPMC Children’s and UPMC Western.

Therapists and psychologists are available to see patients in clinic on Monday through Friday from 5 to 9 p.m. and Saturday from noon to 4 p.m.

We are excited to announce a new emergency department affiliation between UPMC Greene and UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. This partnership provides families in Greene County with convenient access to nationally ranked pediatric emergency care.

“For parents, this means peace of mind, and for children, it means healing can begin the moment they walk through the doors of their local hospital. This pediatric care affiliation is more than a clinical upgrade — it’s about improving close-to-home access to advanced care,” says Brook Ward, president, UPMC Washington and UPMC Greene.
