Olean General Hospital

This progressive community hospital — delivering safe, effective care — is the site of your rural inpatient service and six of your rotations.

Buffalo General Medical Center building exterior.

Olean General Hospital has been a rural health care leader for more than a century.

OGH is a member of Kaleida Health, and part of Upper Allegheny Health System (UAHS), which includes Bradford Regional Medical Center (BRMC) in Bradford, Pa., a 107-bed acute care hospital. Olean General Hospital and Bradford Regional Medical Center serve approximately 160,000 residents across New York and Pennsylvania's Twin Tiers. 

This 186-bed regional referral center has a medical staff of more than 190 physicians. The hospital’s medical director is a family practitioner, so you can be assured that you’ll train in a hospital that holds our expertise in the highest regard.

OGH’s service area covers 26 towns and cities in New York and Pennsylvania — a region of some 100,000 residents.

The hospital features a state-of-the-art intensive care unit, emergency department and obstetrical unit, as well as the latest in laboratory/diagnostic services, including its radiology facility.

OGH is affiliated with Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, upstate New York’s only nationally designated comprehensive cancer center. 

It houses one of the state’s few chest pain centers to receive accreditation from the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care.

The hospital’s interventional cardiac catheterization program, in partnership with Kaleida Health's Gates Vascular Institute, allows physicians to quickly treat coronary artery disease in patients who otherwise would have to travel outside the region for lifesaving heart care.

Training

You’ll care for inpatients in an unopposed environment at this family practice-friendly hospital.

After spending the first four weeks of your family medicine inpatient service in Buffalo, your inpatient service shifts to Olean General Hospital for the rest of residency.

The other rotations that take place exclusively at OGH are ambulatory surgery/anesthesia, behavioral medicine, emergency medicine, ICU, radiology and surgery.
