The UPMC Jameson Health Care Foundation, in conjunction with the UPMC Horizon Community Health Foundation, supports the UPMC Jameson hospital system in Lawrence County, 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 Foundation’s scholarship program to benefit students studying at the UPMC Jameson School of Nursing in New Castle. In addition, funding support will be used to 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. Furthermore, support will assist the Foundations’ Discharge Resource Fund, providing support to patients with a financial obstacle who require low-cost medication or help to be discharged from the hospital.
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 Foundation’s initiatives provide assistance to hundreds of financially distressed patients each year by assisting with transportation costs, discharge expenses and other obstacles preventing care and thus harming overall community health. Additional scholarship aid provides support for local students pursuing nursing degrees and who otherwise would be unable to afford advanced education. All donor support is utilized locally to support local health initiatives.
