When caregivers provide extraordinary support and compassionate care during hospitalization, many patients and family members want to express their gratitude and appreciation. As one UPMC St. Margaret caregiver noted, "Providing compassionate support is part of being a caregiver. That's what we do. Learning that we've made a real difference to a patient is the greatest reward we could receive."

Now, patients and family members can initiate recognition of their special caregiver as an Angel of Health. With a donation, you can acknowledge the efforts of the caregiver who made a difference during your hospital stay. As a non-profit foundation, St. Margaret Foundation relies on your donations to sustain its programs.

Any caregiver who makes a difference can be an Angel. Each caregiver who is recognized by patients or family members will be honored as an Angel of Health and will receive a Angel pin, Angel certificate, and recognition in hospital and foundation publications.
