UPMC said Thursday it has added two drop-off locations at its facilities in Lancaster and Lebanon counties for medical supply donations.
Donations can be delivered to UPMC in Lititz, Lancaster County, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday at the loading dock behind the hospital, located at 1500 Highlands Drive.
To access the loading dock, follow the signs for "Shipping and Receiving" on the hospital campus. Upon arrival, donors should call the main hospital number at 717-625-5000 to indicate they have a donation for drop-off.
