Fulfilling the Mission
The mission of the UPMC Horizon Community Health Foundation is:
to contribute
to an improved quality of life in UPMC Horizon's service area
through sponsorship of programs which provide improved access
to health care for area residents; which promote improved health
and wellness; which identify, call attention to, and address unmet
human service needs; and which promote cooperation among area
health and human service organizations
Promoting
Cooperation and Improving Access to Services
The Foundation's mission to improve the health and well-being of
the community it serves is carried out through the funding of community
projects. For the past few years, the Foundation's commitment has
been to provide $20,000 in grants toward community projects, $30,000
to the Medical Equipment Recycling Program, and $10,000 to programs
from the various restricted funds established by the Foundation.

and Addressing Unmet Needs
The foundation-supported Medical
Equipment Recycling Program continues to provide refurbished
medical equipment free of charge to residents within the UPMC Horizon
area who lack appropriate insurance coverage.
Promoting
Improved Health and Wellness
In 2001 the foundation established an endowed fund for the Dr. C.
Howard Miller Health Education Lecture Series. Each year investment
earnings from the fund will be used to sponsor a health education
event. The fund was created to honor the memory of C. Howard Miller,
DO, a respected member of the medical community in the UPMC Horizon
area.

The Foundation
Board:
Gatekeepers of the Mission and Donor Investment
The UPMC Horizon Community Health Foundation Board carefully investigates
the issues, seeks appropriate partners, and oversees how grant dollars
are spent. Board members take seriously their responsibility to
make the most of all gifts received. Members of the board represent
a cross-section of the communities UPMC Horizon serves.
The work is
far from over. The fact is, in many ways, the board believes it
has just begun. Board members and foundation supporters believe
everyone should have the opportunity to benefit from a healthy and
vibrant community, no matter what their level of interest or need.
