The Story
Allegheny General Hospital has served Pittsburgh's North Side since 1886, making it one of the region's oldest and most respected medical institutions. Now part of Allegheny Health Network, AGH operates as a Level I Trauma Center and a major teaching hospital with over 4,000 employees.
AGH is nationally recognized for cardiac care, neuroscience, and trauma surgery. The hospital's cardiovascular institute has been a leader in innovative heart procedures, and its trauma center serves as the primary emergency facility for a large portion of western Pennsylvania.
As a major employer on the North Side, AGH anchors the neighborhood's economy and draws healthcare professionals from across the country to live and work in Pittsburgh. The hospital's ongoing campus investments demonstrate a long-term commitment to the North Side community.
What Makes It Pittsburgh
Allegheny General Hospital is inseparable from the North Side's identity. For 140 years, the hospital has been the neighborhood's largest employer and most important institution. Generations of Pittsburgh families have been born, healed, and cared for within its walls.
AGH's presence helps make Pittsburgh one of America's premier healthcare cities. Combined with UPMC and the region's other health systems, AGH ensures that world-class medical care is available across the city, not just in Oakland.
