Patient Family Engagement Program

Whether celebrating a medical milestone, honoring the memory of a child, saying “thank you” to your favorite caregiver, sharing your UPMC Children’s story or advocating for your favorite patient programs, there are many ways you can make a difference, give back, and get involved.

Not sure where to start? Below are some of the ways families are currently engaging. Get inspired below! Reach out to our dedicated Family Engagement Development Coordinator, Lauren McBryde, to start the conversation and see how you and your family can help.

Will’s First Step into Philanthropy

When he was 10 months old, Will Stimmel had his first MRI at UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. His mother Alexis had noticed numerous "cafe au lait" spots, or darkened birthmarks, on his body - a possible sign of a disease called neurofibromatosis. Will ended up needing chemotherapy for one of his tumors at just 2 years old. His mom Alexis always remembered the amazing care they received at UPMC Children’s.

When it came time for Will’s senior project, he chose an organization who would help him raise money for UPMC Children’s by collecting shoes funds2orgs.com. Will wanted to help children at the hospital like he was all those years ago. Will raised $640 dollars that will go to help the patients at UPMC Children’s, and he helped those in developing nations have proper footwear. Amazing job!

Every child and family that is cared for by UPMC Children’s has a story to tell. Inspire others by sharing your story today.
