  1. 44 is not the correct answer.

    They ones available to the general public are:
    Allegheny General Hospital (NorthSide)
    Allegheny General – Forbes Regional Campus
    West Penn Hospital
    Magee-Womens Hospital of UPMC
    UPMC McKeesport
    UPMC Mercy
    UPMC Montefiore
    UPMC Passavant
    UPMC Presbyterian
    UPMC Shadyside
    UPMC St. Margaret
    Jefferson Regional Medical Center
    Ohio Valley General Hospital
    St. Clair Memorial Hospital.

    Specialized hospitals are (meaning they only deal with certain sectors of society but are still considered “hospitals”:
    Western Psychiatric Inst. of UPMC
    Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC
    VA Pittsburgh (2 locations)

    These facilities call themselves hospitals but in the general sense of the word, they are not:

    Kindred Hospital (2 locations: North Shore & Oakland) which is an acute care and LTAC facility
    VA Pittsburgh Healthcare system (3 locations: University Drive, Highland Drive and HJ Heinz Progressive Center)
    Select Specialty Hospital (acute care located in UPMC Montefiore)
    LifeCare Hospitals
    Kane Regional Hospitals (4 locations)

    So technically there are only about 14 legit hospitals in Allegheny County, but there are other facilities that are highly specialized and in some sense they can be considered hospitals.
