September 25, 2026- UPMC Washington has expanded access to advanced heart failure care with the addition of a Heart Transplant and Ventricular Assist Device (VAD) Evaluation Clinic at UPMC Washington Outpatient Center – Neighbor Health located at 95 Leonard Ave.
The new clinic enables people with advanced heart failure to receive much of their transplant-related care closer to home. Patients can complete evaluations, pre-surgical assessments and post-operative follow-up appointments in Washington, with transplant surgery performed at UPMC Presbyterian in Pittsburgh. The clinic builds on the recent addition of local kidney and lung transplant evaluation services in Washington County, further increasing access to specialized transplant care.
