Happy Volunteer Appreciation Week! UPMC St. Margaret runs on volunteers, from the ER to the front desk to parking services. St. Margaret Foundation is no different, relying on volunteers Emilie, Pat, Jean, and Joyce to keep us on track to serve patients in need.

“Before our founding fathers touched quill to paper to sign our Declaration of Independence, Americans have been volunteering their time and energy to the causes and communities they believe in — aiding wounded soldiers in the Revolutionary War, advocating for the abolition of slavery, marching for civil rights, and raising funds to support those left behind by the other sectors of our society...” - Dr. Akilah Watkins, president and CEO of Independent Sector

Thank you to all who volunteer to serve others!

This is one of the projects that is made possible by donations to the Nursing Recognition Fund at St. Margaret Foundation! This fund is used to recognize our certified nurses and provide all certified nurses a gift!

In February, UPMC recognized Lillian Palumbo with a Regional Good Catch Award for her exceptional commitment to patient safety and advocacy, and we wanted to share this inspiring story with you!

When a patient was ordered a high‑risk medication, Lilli quickly recognized that the existing vascular access was not appropriate. She took immediate action to ensure the patient had the correct access, preventing potential harm and promoting safe medication administration.

Lilli is also a donor to St. Margaret Foundation, and we couldn't be prouder to have her on our team! Congratulations, Lillian!

Today is a very special day. On March 3, 1986, St. Margaret Foundation was established as a 501(c)3 public charity. Today marks forty years since the official start of St. Margaret Foundation's mission to be a valued source of support for St. Margaret Hospital and the health and wellness of the communities it serves.

1986 might have been the official beginning of St. Margaret Foundation but it is far from the beginning of philanthropy at St. Margaret Hospital. That story began more than 130 years ago. Read a brief history of St. Margaret Hospital here: https://www.stmargaretfoundation.org/articles

We are celebrating today's momentous occasion with reverence for the many donors, physicians, nurses, volunteers, employees, and community members who came before us to shape St. Margaret into what it is today. Here's to many more years to come!

For more detail on the history of St. Margaret, keep an eye out for the upcoming 40th anniversary edition of the Spring Impact Report!
