Trinity Health System, which has a network of care sites in Eastern Ohio, now uses the UPMC moniker. Two of the hospitals, now called UPMC Trinity and UPMC Trinity East, are located in Steubenville; UPMC Twin City is in Dennison; and UPMC St. Clairsville is in St. Clairsville.
Under UPMC's ownership, the facilities retain their nonprofit status. They no longer are Catholic, nor do they adhere to the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services.
The organizations did not disclose the financial details of the deal.
During an Oct. 20 celebration of the acquisition, UPMC leadership said the health system will make "significant investments in Trinity's facilities, equipment, and infrastructure." Among the changes, UPMC plans to expand the facilities' specialty services, including women's health, neurology, and rehabilitation. It also plans to transition the facilities to the Epic electronic health record platform.
The Steubenville hospitals had partnered with UPMC for more than 20 years before joining that system. This includes collaborations on cancer care, MedEvac services, and orthopedic services.
CommonSpirit Health has a network of more than 2,600 care sites in 24 states, including 156 hospital campuses. The Steubenville facilities were CommonSpirit's only hospitals in Ohio. UPMC is a Pittsburgh-based nonprofit system with more than 40 hospitals and about 800 outpatient sites in Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, and some overseas locations. UPMC is affiliated with the University of Pittsburgh Schools of the Health Sciences.
