together during procedures. An onsite lab will expedite testing
processes so patients don’t have to wait long for results.
AHN Brentwood will be closely aligned with the network’s
Jefferson Hospital, in nearby Jefferson Hills, and AHN’s
hospitals in the City of Pittsburgh for patients who require
a more acute level of care or follow-up appointments with

outpatient and primary care services in the Brentwood
community. When more comprehensive care is needed, the
neighborhood hospital will provide a smooth transition to
AHN facilities.
