Can't say that's surprising, I'm sure Pittsburgh's overall health has come a long way since they shifted away from the steel mills and factories that used to fill the city. I'd say it's hard to pin it on this one factory when they've been working to clean up the city for decades.

UPMC also covers out to Johnstown, Indiana, and Altoona
