CHP Cares

Medical Staff and Employee Giving

Every day, you give your time and talent to make UPMC Children’s and Children’s Community Pediatrics leaders in pediatric healthcare. Your impact is not only seen in our national ranking, but in the first steps, second chances, new hearts, cancer free announcements, and big happy smiles from kids and families that have stepped through our doors.

You have changed so many lives and have given healthier and brighter futures to so many kids – thank you!

You also help advance medical breakthroughs and expert care through your generous donations, providing resources to fund vital research, life-changing therapies, patient- and family-focused services, and so much more.

This yearlong internal medical staff and employee campaign encourages all employees and medical staff to get involved, give back, and make an even bigger difference. You are truly our best ambassadors, and it is through your philanthropy that we can ensure the mission and vision of UPMC Children’s stays strong.

“I choose to give to UPMC Children’s because I’ve seen the hope on the faces of sweet innocent children and their families. Our support gives them the excellent care they need and can really help them live their dreams.”

“Giving to the Aviva Katz Memorial Fund for Pediatric Ethics at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh is really important to my kids and to me. It is a way for us to keep Aviva’s memory alive, and to support a cause that was so important to her. The fund helps train ethics consultants, support ethics education and research, and the other work of the ethics committee. The fund will help ensure that future generations of ethicists, pediatricians and pediatric surgeons know how much she meant to CHP and to our family.”

“I participate in Walk for Children’s to support all the patients and families who need care at UPMC Children’s. Walking is my way to show admiration for the strength and bravery they exhibit during the toughest times. I want them to know that they are not alone in their journey. They have an entire staff behind them doing all they can to help them through their journeys.”

“The support I received through the Children’s Trust, early after starting my lab, made a huge difference in my trajectory, opening early doors to work that has been successful and rewarding. It was also a big vote of confidence, which is no small thing when starting out as a scientist. Now that I’m further along in my research career, I’m looking forward to participating in Trust as a member and supporting young investigators.”
