“The response to ‘The Pitt’ has been overwhelmingly positive, and our employees have been incredibly excited to see their workplace featured on a national stage in such a compelling way,” said Imran Qadeer, MD, president of AGH. “We are proud to welcome the production team back and continue our partnership with this important series, which shines a light on the dedication and resilience of health care professionals, and the life-changing impact they have on patients, families and communities.”
‘The Pitt’ offers a realistic examination of the challenges facing healthcare workers in America, focusing on the frontline heroes in a modern-day hospital in Pittsburgh.
The show has been praised for its accurate portrayal of the healthcare landscape and recently won five Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Drama Series.
Among the people who produce the show are Carnegie Mellon University graduates John Wells and Michael Hissrich.
“We’re very excited to be back in town to show the city and hospital in season two, Hissrich said. ”AGH and its dedicated healthcare professionals continue to help us tell compelling stories and show the hardworking people of the Pittsburgh area. I couldn’t be happier to be filming in my hometown.”
AGH has been a leading healthcare provider since 1886 and is currently a premier Level 1 trauma center in the region. Filming will not impact care or hospital operations.
