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.
