History

In 1866, Herman H. Hofmann, Marcellin Coté, and John C. Burgher, started to gather donations to open a hospital specializing in homeopathic medicine in Pittsburgh.

Years later, in 1884 they moved to a new building also in the downtown neighborhood. In 1896, the hospital pioneered the first x-ray in western Pennsylvania. [6]

Due to lack of space a new location for the hospital was inquired upon. In 1906 Alexander Peacock, a member of the Board, donated $25,000 toward the purchase of land at the current site in Pittsburgh's Shadyside development. Construction for the new hospital began in 1907, completed in January 1910, and opened its doors to patients on March 1, 1910, on a site in front of its current location. [4]

In 1938, its name was changed to Shadyside Hospital to reflect its location in the Shadyside neighborhood. Many of the present buildings of UPMC Shadyside were constructed in 1972. [4] During the 1960s, UPMC Shadyside Hospital became known for their cardiology department. [7]

In 1997 Shadyside Hospital became part of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) network when they merged with Presbyterian Hospital. [8]
