The Power of a Dollar
The UPMC Pinnacle Foundation exists to provide resources to meet the needs of our most vulnerable patients, promote health and lifelong wellness in our communities, and support our workforce so we can attract, train, and retain the best and brightest talent at UPMC in Central Pa.
When you choose to make a gift, you help ensure that patients who are uninsured, underinsured, or facing financial hardship can still receive the care they need. Your generosity helps fund initiatives that wouldn’t be possible otherwise, projects that bring dignity, innovation, and hope into patient rooms and community spaces.
