PITTSBURGH, March 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Allegheny Health Network (AHN) today announced its comprehensive plans to provide medical care and support for the hundreds of thousands of visitors expected to attend the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh. The health system will deploy various care resources directly within the event footprint, while maintaining hospital readiness across its entire network.
AHN Allegheny General Hospital, a leading regional trauma center, is the closest hospital to the NFL Draft's location near Acrisure Stadium. The hospital's emergency department also serves as the inspiration and backdrop for the Emmy®-winning Max Original drama series, 'THE PITT,' from Warner Bros. Television.
