LifeCare Hospitals of Pittsburgh

LifeCare Hospitals of Pittsburgh operates on two different campuses with a combined capacity of 196 beds and a medical staff of more than 200 physicians. We are accredited by The Joint Commission and are Medicare certified.

Our hospital specializes in the treatment of medically complex patients who require extended hospitalization. We are passionate about giving our patients the best chance at recovery from acute injury or illness by providing early and aggressive intervention in a critical care setting. Our treatment team includes physicians, nurses, pharmacists, nutritionists and therapists across a range of disciplines — physical, speech, occupational, respiratory, recreational and psychological therapy — to speed physical, emotional and spiritual recovery. We embrace each of our patients as individuals with a personal history and a unique health situation and we provide the compassion, support, and nurturing necessary to achieve optimal recovery.

In addition to treating medically complex patients, we also are able to serve patients who may benefit from an intensive behavioral health program.
