February 2023

Hearts are not just for Valentine's Day. February is American Heart Month. From tests to treatments, our experts work to keep your heart healthy. Read about our new cardiovascular services available in Hershey.

If you haven't given a lot of thought to a lingering cough or shortness of breath, learn about COPD and find out if you're at risk. And whether you're a smoker, former smoker, or never-smoker, learn about lung cancer screenings. They can lead to early diagnosis, which can make a difference in lung cancer outcomes.

The weather may be unpredictable, but you can count on UPMC in Central Pa. to meet all your health care needs.
