St. Margaret Foundation is a 501(c)3 organization that is further classified as a public charity, independent of UPMC. The reason we exist is because when you're sick it's difficult enough without having to worry if you have a ride to chemotherapy or treatment, or if you can pay for the expensive medicine, hearing aids, walkers, insulin, and other items you need that aren't covered by insurance and that most of us take for granted. Your gift fills in those heartbreaking gaps of suffering with hope, healing and independence for patients of St. Margaret. We thank you on their behalf.
