At UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital, we are more than a hospital — we are a trusted partner in every stage of a woman’s life. From groundbreaking research and advanced treatments to compassionate, personalized care, Magee has been a leader in women’s health for generations. Whether welcoming new life, supporting complex health needs, or guiding patients through every milestone, our experts combine innovation with empathy to deliver care that inspires confidence and comfort.

Orthopedics (4100)

Orthopedics (4100) is a 30-bed medical-surgical orthopedic unit that primarily cares for patients who have undergone elective surgeries such as hip and knee replacements, and we also receive all of Magee’s post‑op bariatric surgery patients. We frequently use specialty orthopedic equipment such as continuous passive motion machines and bed trapezes. This is a patient‑centered rehabilitative unit, a great environment for someone who wants to be directly involved in rehab as well as care; we also receive an overflow of general med‑surg patients, making 4100 a perfect fit for graduate nurses and nurses seeking to build broad knowledge and/or gain new experience.
