Shriners, UPMC Have New Agreement
Surgeons from UPMC will perform orthopedic surgery at Erie Shriners Hospital for Children under a new agreement between the two facilities.
Under the new agreement, two surgeons from UPMC's Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh will treat outpatients at the Erie hospital three days a week. One surgeon begins work Monday and the other will start in July.
Erie Shriners has had a shortage since its two full-time surgeons resigned in 2007, forcing the hospital to cut 39 support staff. Adding the UPMC doctors will allow the hospital to see 170 more outpatients and schedule 5 to 7 more surgeries each week.
