DUBLIN, 13th March 2023 – UPMC announced today that it has formally acquired the renowned Sports Surgery Clinic (SSC) in Dublin, following approval by the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC). SSC now becomes UPMC’s fourth hospital in Ireland, joining UPMC Whitfield in Waterford, UPMC Kildare in Clane and UPMC Aut Even in Kilkenny, along with sports medicine, cancer and outreach facilities across Ireland.

“The addition of SSC positions UPMC as an all-Ireland network of care and builds upon our commitment to clinical excellence since establishing our first cancer centre here in 2006,” said David Beirne, senior vice president of UPMC International. “This acquisition is just the latest expansion of UPMC’s clinical care in Ireland and complements our existing network of orthopaedic care in the U.S. and Europe, ensuring that we can provide access to care for more patients, close to home.”

“With the acquisition of Sports Surgery Clinic, UPMC Ireland has added a world-class facility to our network, strengthening our ability to provide advanced orthopaedic care to patients across the country, from facilities in Waterford, Kilkenny, Kildare, and now Dublin,” said Eamonn Fitzgerald, managing director, UPMC Ireland. He continued, “The addition of this facility, as well as the ability to align the sports medicine offering to our growing Ireland network, allows us to offer a seamless continuum of care, from diagnosis through to rehabilitation, and further cements our commitment to providing the highest quality healthcare services to the communities we serve.”
