JOB SUMMARY
UPMC Altoona a 397-bed Level 2 Trauma Center and regional referral center for the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center is expanding its stroke services to offer comprehensive, multi-disciplinary care for patients with severe neurological injuries. Expanded services include a newly renovated 7-bed neurointensive care unit (NeuroICU) that will be staffed by Pittsburgh Critical Care Associates, Inc (PCCA), a group of fellowship trained intensivists. PCCA currently provides intensivist and ACNP coverage 24-hours a day, 365-days a year in the 14-bed MICU, 12-bed SICU and 7-bed CVICU.
JOB DESCRIPTION
Model
It is anticipated that the neurointensivist will provide daytime in-house coverage for the 7-bed NeuroICU and administrative leadership. The NeuroICU will be staffed by a neurointensivist and four neuro ACNP’s. The neurointensvist will be supported by the established PCCA intensivist team who are present in-house 24-hours a day.
Facilities
UPMC Altoona is a 397-bed Level 2 Trauma Center and is currently an accredited stroke center. Surgical services include trauma, neurosurgery, open heart (Center for Cardiac Care), orthopedic, and all basic surgical specialties. The Emergency Department sees approximately 40,900 patients annually. Intensivist services are provided by Pittsburgh Critical Care Associates in the 14-bed MICU, 12-bed SICU and 7-bed CVICU. UPMC Altoona has the largest service area in the state—serving over 20 counties in West-Central Pennsylvania, it is centrally located between Danville, Hershey, Johnstown, and State College. Penn State Milton Hershey Medical Center (2.5 hours east) and UPMC Presbyterian (2 hours west) are the closest comprehensive stroke centers.
Location
UPMC Altoona is 40 minutes from State College in Pennsylvania, 2 hours from Harrisburg and 2 hours from Pittsburgh. This city is the tenth most populous in the state and situated in the Allegheny Mountains at the base of Brush Mountain in Pleasant Valley. Each day, 60-80 trains pass through the city, some traveling along the famous Horseshoe Curve. The city is also home to Penn State Altoona. The downtown area is located in the heart of the emerging I-99 Innovation Corridor. Interstate 99 provides access to the Pennsylvania Turnpike to the south and Interstate 80 to the north; and U.S. Route 22, which provides east-west service and direct access to Pittsburgh and Harrisburg (each roughly 2 hours away). The Altoona-Blair County Airport provides commercial air service, offering daily flights to Washington Dulles International Airport.
