Patient Experience

At this moment, give a child a sense of comfort, peace, and normalcy by supporting the patient experience.

When a child is hospitalized, their world is suddenly anything but normal. 

Your investment in the patient experience will help UPMC Children’s feel less like a hospital and more like home.

Your generosity supports the patient-centered programs that bring healing and hope to children.

Medicine can heal a child’s body, but a superb patient experience can heal their spirit.

And yet, patient experience programs are non-reimbursable by insurance.

Only you can sustain the services that help heal the whole child.

Your support enables us to:

Secure permanent resources that ensure families can receive the comprehensive support and comfort these programs provide at no cost

Safeguard critical positions that address the emotional, social, and developmental needs of patients

Enhance the quality of care through innovative collaborations that prioritize child-centered programming

Ensure programs promoting healing and hope are available at no cost to every child who needs them.
