Pharmaceutical companies sponsor research studies appropriate to their interests. The results of research studies are continually advancing our knowledge in these and other areas and helping The Western Pennsylvania Hospital to remain at the forefront of contributors to the health and well-being of those in our local, regional and global community. The long-awaited addition of a Conference Center to serve the needs of The Western Pennsylvania Hospital is about to become a reality. Included in the center's design is a substantial physical and technological expansion of the hospital's Medical Library. This expansion will bring the library into the twenty-first century, providing Internet access at multiple computer stations while significantly enhancing the library's information capacity.
Education is the cornerstone of good medical care.
Your gift to this project will ensure that The Western Pennsylvania Hospital continues to be one of the most advanced healthcare facilities in our region in order to best serve our community. All of the hospital's educational programs will benefit from the Medical Library's expanded design and capabilities. The libraries of the School of Nursing and allied health education programs will be integrated into the Medical Library, creating a central resource for all of West Penn's exceptional educational programs. The Conference Center will be located adjacent to the hospital's dining room. When no conference is in session, employees and guests of the hospital will be able to utilize the Wintergarden area on the upper level, as well as an accessible outdoor area on the lower level, for dining.
