PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--UnitedHealthcare donated $200,000 to National Church Residences to create a new onsite medical suite that will serve residents of Parkside Manor, a 77-unit independent-living senior community located in Pittsburgh’s Brookline suburb.
The new medical suite will include a reception and waiting area, exam room, medical office, restrooms and an area for physical therapy. The stand-alone facility will be available for residents and can also be accessed by residents of the local community, allowing Parkside Manor to further support the community and help improve access to care.

The donation comes following the release of United Health Foundation’s America’s Health Rankings® Senior Report showing Pennsylvania dropped from 22nd to 25th in the nation for overall senior care, with a high prevalence of obesity, physical inactivity, smoking and preventable hospitalizations, among other measures.
National Church Residences, an innovative leader in integrating housing, health care and other supportive services for seniors, families and others in need, owns and manages Parkside Manor, and is overseeing a major renovation project of the facility.
The renovations mark Parkside Manor’s first significant upgrade since it opened in 1982 and includes renovating all of the apartment units, and adding a fitness center, computer room, community kitchen, library and game room. The renovations and new medical suite will be completed in June.
“United Healthcare’s partnership with National Church Residences will help improve access to care for at-risk populations, particularly among seniors, who often face greater barriers to medical services,” said State Representative Daniel Deasy, who participated in the announcement and hardhat tour. “I applaud the innovation and commitment to bring more support services to the Pittsburgh community.”
UnitedHealthcare’s donation to National Church Residences aligns with its goal of providing seniors, low-income individuals and families with access to essential social, medical and behavioral services that can have a significant impact on health and quality of life.
