The mission of UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh is to improve the health and wellbeing of children, teens, and young adults through excellence in patient care, teaching, research, and advocacy.
UPMC Children’s Hospital Foundation is the sole fundraising arm of UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, and it exists to protect and support the hospital’s mission.
Annually, UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh serves more than 1.5 million children from our region, all 50 states and nearly 70 countries around the world. In response to the growing number of children who need care and the extensive scope of their needs, we are leading a comprehensive campaign to unite the support of our community. Through this campaign, we aim to strengthen the hospital’s capabilities, expand access to care, and transform the trajectory of children’s health in the hospital and beyond its walls.
At This Moment, we invite you to take part in building a future where every child is healthy and thriving. More than any moment in our 130-year history, right now donor support is the most critical piece we need to ensure life-changing care is accessible for children today and for generations to come.
Join us in supporting UPMC Children’s physicians, nurses, and staff who work tirelessly to provide expert care to children and their families in their times of greatest need.
We are fortunate to have a group of talented and committed individuals providing oversight for our Foundation, who are passionate about advancing pediatric healthcare and helping to ensure that all kids and families in our region have access to expert medical care.
