UCPA has received many calls from patients seeking help to obtain the COVID-19 vaccine.
As a urology practice, Urology of Central Pennsylvania is NOT a distributor of the COVID-19 vaccine and does NOT give out the vaccine at our locations.
Please check with your primary care provider, as some providers are able to give COVID-19 vaccinations to their own patients.
Otherwise, this map from the Pennsylvania Department of Health may help patients locate vaccination providers and availability.

As of November 16, 2020, Dr. Owens was awarded the role of Chair in the Department of Surgery for UPMC PinnacleHealth. Dr. Owens has been an active member of the medical staff at UPMC PinnacleHealth hospitals and the Department of Surgery since 1995 as a Urologist.

Surgical Services is the engine that runs healthcare and it’s essential we continue to provide and perform at the highest level.
To ensure our commitment in providing the high-quality care that our patients and communities expect, we are always exploring opportunities to improve. I appreciate [my fellow healthcare providers’] contributions and dedication to ensuring that our patients and our communities receive high-quality care.”
