The UPMC Horizon Community Health Foundation, in conjunction with the UPMC Jameson Health Care Foundation, supports the UPMC Horizon hospital system in Farrell and Greenville, along with investing in community health programs and initiatives across Mercer and Lawrence Counties and the surrounding area.

Giving Week Progress:
FUNDRAISING GOAL: $10,000
Programs Supported by Your Donations
All donor support will be utilized to improve local community health and enhance support for healthcare staff, patients, and residents throughout Mercer and Lawrence Counties. Contributions will assist the Medical Equipment Recycling Program’s facilities in Farrell, Greenville, and New Castle, which annually loan durable medical equipment, at no cost, to thousands of area residents. In addition, funding support will benefit the Foundation’s scholarship programs, which provide assistance to local high school graduates and nursing students pursuing additional education in a health-care related field. Finally, funding will support the Foundation’s Transportation Fund, which provides access to care to local residents who are otherwise unable to travel to or from a medical appointment
Needs that Cannot beMet without Your Help
Although the Foundation is generously supported by many local organizations and individuals, more donor support means more work can be done to improve area-wide community health. The Medical Equipment Recycling Program, while incredibly impactful for thousands of individuals each year, are always in need of additional funding to purchase medical equipment. Many area residents are low-income or face financial stresses preventing travel to even basic health care, and the pool of patients needing transportation is constantly growing. Donor contributions help not just the Foundation, but in the initiatives caring for your neighbors and friends.
