Poinsettias for Patients

Throughout December, more than 1,000 patients will be admitted to St. Margaret Hospital who would surely rather be at home baking cookies, decorating their homes, and enjoying their families. Imagine yourself or a loved one spending the holidays in a hospital bed recovering from a surgery or illness with limited visitors because of the continuing pandemic. As we approach the holiday season, we invite you to make a difference for these patients who are worried, lonely and disappointed. Will you provide a thoughtful donation to help our patients feel special and not forgotten? Choose the option you like the best. 

​

Option #1: Personalized Doves of Hope Ornament
Dove ornaments may be hung in memory or honor of your loved one(s) on the ‘Doves of Hope’ Tree in the St. Margaret Hospital lobby. One ornament will be hung for a donation of $50 or three ornaments for a donation of $125. The tree and a menorah will be lit for patients and families to enjoy throughout the season. Click "Poinsettias for Patients/Doves of Hope" under "Choose a fund to support". You can even personalize the ornament(s) in honor or memory of your loved one(s).

​

Option #2: Poinsettias for Patients
A poinsettia may be delivered to patients admitted to St. Margaret Hospital during the month of December for a donation of $50 or three poinsettias may be delivered for a donation of $125. Our goal is to deliver a poinsettia to every patient who is in the hospital in December. Let them know HOPE endures. Click "Poinsettias for Patients/Doves of Hope" under "Choose a fund to support".

Please give a patient a special measure of holiday love and cheer this December – you become the trusted friend who extends their hand in time of need to comfort and support.

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.
