When it comes to pursuing the goal of better health and wellness in your community, you don't have to be a seven-figure donor to make a difference. There's always a way for everyone, regardless of means, connections, or age, to impact someone's life.

The The UPMC Horizon and Jameson Foundations were privileged to see that impact in action thanks to the generosity of the elementary age Crochet Club at Greenville Area Public Library a few days ago. The Club's talented and generous young students (seen below with Foundation board member Scott D Grau) decided to participate in The Jared Box Project's initiative to put together several boxes of small toys and items to be donated to UPMC Horizon, to be given to young patients having to make a hospital visit to make their experience a bit less intimidating and stressful.

We're so proud to be part of a community that cares for one another, and it's especially rewarding to see the youngest members of that community wanting to help others going through a challenging experience in a personal and meaningful way. Thank you to the Crochet Club and everyone who helps make our communities healthier and a better place to live!

The UPMC Jameson Health Care Foundation is proud to announce the funding and purchase of a new Automated Compression System for the UPMC Jameson Emergency Department. This state-of-the-art device automatically administers chest compressions on a patient during a cardiac arrest, replacing the need for full-time chest compressions by medical professionals and instead allowing them to focus on treating the patient’s underlying condition.

Phil Rozic, Director of Operations at UPMC Jameson, describes the device and its use: “The Automated Compression System will allow our ED staff and other emergency personnel deliver continuous, high-quality CPR for patients in cardiac arrest. It can be deployed in seconds, freeing up other personal from doing chest compressions so they can focus on other areas during codes. Not only that, but there is no such thing as fatigue as the device can run continuously for over an hour.”

Grant funding from the Foundation for the ACS was made possible through the generosity of its donors and reflects the Foundation’s ongoing commitment to providing UPMC Jameson and its health care professionals the tools and support they need to provide the highest quality of treatment and care to our community.
