With hundreds of thousands of visitors expected in Pittsburgh for the upcoming NFL Draft, Allegheny Health Network announced Monday that it will provide medical care throughout the event.

The walk-in AHN Downtown Express Care Clinic, located at Highmark’s Penn Avenue Place, will expand its hours and capacity during draft week. It will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. from Wednesday, April 22 through Saturday, April 25.

“The walk-in clinic will serve as a crucial first-response point for non-emergent medical needs, including common illnesses and injuries,” the announcement said.

The AHN Mobile Clinic will also be on-site in Market Square, providing first aid and treatment for minor health issues. Patients requiring more advanced care may be referred to AHN Downtown Express Care or a nearby emergency department, AHN said.

For patients who have previously scheduled appointments, they will have the option to have a video visit instead. Additionally, 24/7 Virtual Urgent Care is also available to both new and existing patients, AHN said.

Near Acrisure Stadium, AHN said physicians and nurses from AHN Prehospital Care and Allegheny General Hospital will staff a medical tent to provide immediate care for fans.

“Caregivers will maintain continuous communication with EMS units positioned inside the stadium and across the draft’s footprint for seamless care coordination,” the announcement said.

Also on Pittsburgh’s North Side, AHN will operate a command center at Nova Place “to manage patient flow across care sites and help mitigate potential strain on the emergency department at nearby AGH.”

“As a Level I trauma center, AGH is concurrently prepared to treat an influx of patients throughout the event,” the announcement said.

“AGH has a long history of effectively responding to events that bring high volumes of people to the North Side and patients to our doors,” said Dr. Brent Rau, medical director of the AGH emergency department.

AGH is working with Pittsburgh and NFL officials to make sure non-emergency patients have access to the hospital for scheduled medical appointments, as traffic restrictions will be in place.

“As a cornerstone of health care in Pittsburgh, AHN is pleased to collaborate with the City of Pittsburgh and the NFL to help ensure this year’s draft is a safe and memorable experience for all,” said Mark Sevco, president of AHN.
