Organizations Filed Purposes: UPMC Altoona's mission is to serve our community by providing outstanding patient care and to shape tomorrow's health system through clinical and technological innovations, research and education.

On January 1, 1886, Altoona opened a 30-bed, two-story wooden structure and admitted 113 patients in its first year. The opening of the hospital was driven by the need of the Pennsylvania Railroad and the residents of the growing territory of Blair County. The railroad donated the land that was close to the rail lines which was a convenience for transporting injured railroad workers.UPMC Altoona is currently a 376-bed hospital serving primarily the more than 20 counties throughout Central Pennsylvania. It maintains a Level II Adult Trauma Center, providing comprehensive care for the most severely injured. UPMC Altoona cares for the behavioral health of the region through a 34-bed inpatient facility and offers outpatient therapy, including a 24-hour crisis center, school programs, and family-based drug and alcohol treatment. UPMC Altoona's medical mall brings outpatient services closer to patients by providing state-of-the-art diagnostic neurology testing, digital mammography, as well as comprehensive rehabilitation services.UPMC Altoona is committed to its mission of providing exceptional health care to all in need, regardless of ability to pay.
