Our mission to care for our communities extends beyond our medical excellence. It’s the passion of a dedicated workforce determined to make life-changing impacts in the places they call home.
UPMC employees regularly volunteer at community events throughout the regions we serve. These opportunities include participating in donation drives for diapers, clothing, food, household supplies, and more essential items.
We also partner with organizations, like Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank, to address food insecurity. The annual Scouting for Food campaign helps to provide food to families throughout the region. Animal Friends’ Chow Wagon also feeds hundreds of hungry pets each month.
UPMC also supports dozens of community organizations and nonprofits, including United Way, Pittsburgh Marathon, Project Bundle-Up, and various veterans’ programs.

The UPMC system is made up of unique and distinct divisions that work together to make Life Changing Medicine a reality for our patients. While we invest in our talented staff and cutting-edge technology and research, we also recognize the important goal of supporting the communities in which we — and our patients — live and work each day.
UPMC Enterprises — the venture capital, commercialization, and innovation division of UPMC — is aligned with the mission and vision of the UPMC system, as it guides and inspires the work we do. From investing in startups that contribute to Pittsburgh’s growing innovation economy to volunteering with local organizations, UPMC Enterprises is committed to fostering a culture that gives back both inside and outside the office.
