Can you be the friend who helps patients in need get back to living their lives?

​

Sometimes bad things happen to good people. You’re going about your life and suddenly you are hit with a diagnosis you never imagined and can barely understand. Terms such as ‘prognosis,’ ‘treatment plan’ and ‘side effects’ are now part of your daily conversations. Our patients tell us that when you’re sick, fear of the unknown is debilitating enough without having to worry if you have a ride to chemotherapy or if you can pay for expensive medicine, home oxygen, hearing aids, insulin, walkers and other items not covered by insurance and that most of us take for granted.

Dr. Sean Whelan, chief of general surgery at UPMC St. Margaret, shares about the impact your gift can have on patients in need.

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.
