JAMESTOWN, N.Y. -- WCA Hospital in Jamestown has officially integrated with University of Pittsburgh Medical Center to form UPMC Chautauqua WCA.
The plan to join forces was originally announced last year.
UPMC Chautauqua WCA is the first hospital in New York State to integrate with UPMC.
As part of the agreement, UPMC will invest at least $25 million over the next 10 years and will relieve any of WCA's debt and pension obligations.
