Magee-Womens is a part of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC). The hospital is near UPMC's flagship campus which houses Presbyterian and Montefiore. While the hospital is UPMC's primary facility for women's health, the hospital is a full service hospital that also serves men. As the hospital is a teaching hospital, it is affiliated with University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.

History
History of Magee goes back to the early 1900s when on January 19, 1911, Mrs. Alfred Birdsall delivered the first baby at a makeshift hospital in the former home of Christopher Magee. The hospital is built on the grounds of the home of legendary Pittsburgh political boss Christopher Magee and named in honor of his mother, Elizabeth Steel Magee.

In 1931, Magee Hospital and the University of Pittsburgh created an agreement to establish a 28-bed teaching unit at the hospital. In 1962 Magee Hospital merged with Pittsburgh Woman's Hospital, and became Magee-Womens Hospital.

The hospital merged with UPMC in 1999. In 2011 the hospital undertook an expansion of its main facility which was completed in June, 2012. The expansion added six floors, increased the number of beds from 318 to 335 (including 14 additional intensive care rooms), and expanded the surgical and ambulatory facilities.
