UPMC buys hospital as it expands its presence in Ireland

UPMC has acquired the 80-bed Whitfield Clinic in Ireland along with assuming full control of a cancer center at the hospital, the Downtown-based health system announced Thursday.

UPMC has operated the cancer center for 12 years through a joint venture,

The new UPMC Whitfield and UPMC Hillman Cancer Centre, both located in Waterford, Ireland, are part of the Pittsburgh health system’s network of 60 cancer treatment facilities. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Whitfield Clinic opened in 2006 as the largest private hospital in the southeast part of the country and the cancer clinic opened the same year. The hospital has 180 employees. The cancer center has treated more than 17,000 patients, according to UPMC.

Next year, in partnership with Bon Secours Health System Ltd., UPMC plans to open a radiotherapy center in Cork, Ireland.

“The excellent staff and leadership at UPMC Whitfield and our cancer center there provide a solid foundation for our plans to grow high quality health care services throughout the country,” Chuck Bogosta, president of UPMC International and UPMC Hillman Cancer Center, said in a prepared statement.
