Plans Unveiled for New UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh Heart Institute

UPMC will construct a new Heart Institute at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, elevating care and technology in pediatric cardiology for patients and their families.

Expected to open in 2026, the Heart Institute will be home to clinical space with new cardiac catheterization labs, an interoperative MRI, inpatient and outpatient procedural and diagnostic and consultation spaces, plus waiting and reception rooms. The new 50,000-square-foot, three-story addition will be built on the UPMC Children’s Lawrenceville campus.

“With this new facility, we will further advance our specialty care for our patients and families who travel here from near and far and who trust us to care for their children,” said Leslie Davis, president and CEO of UPMC. “This means more opportunities to improve and save more children’s lives as a top destination for pediatric cardiology.”
