Wellsboro, Pa., June 15, 2026 – UPMC Heart and Vascular Institute is expanding device clinic services to Wellsboro and Mansfield, giving patients additional access to follow-up care for implanted heart rhythm devices closer to home.

The device clinic provides routine in-person and remote checks for patients with implanted heart rhythm devices, including pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators and cardiac resynchronization therapy devices, to make sure the devices are working as intended.

“This expansion reflects our continued commitment to growing heart and vascular services across North Central Pennsylvania,” said Luke Klingler, director, UPMC Heart and Vascular Institute in North Central Pa. “We’re focused on delivering high-quality, coordinated care in the communities we serve.”

Regular monitoring can help identify device or heart rhythm issues early, guide adjustments when needed and, in many cases, reduce the need for hospital visits, giving patients greater peace of mind and more convenient access to the care they need.
