UPMC is giving the city a one-time gift of ten million dollars to help purchase nine new ambulances and a rescue truck this year. Mayor Corey O’Connor says the donation will help the city replace aging EMS vehicles and better support first responders. When asked whether the gift could bring an end to the city’s ongoing nonprofit lawsuits against UPMC, O’Connor said no — adding discussions are still ongoing. O’Connor also says the funding will help the city purchase additional EMS vehicles in 2027.
