Vision, Mission and Values

We're Transforming Lives

As employees of Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC, there is one goal that unites us all: transforming the lives of children through science and compassion. 

What enables us to deliver world-class care is a world-class culture. Our culture is what sets the hospital apart and creates a lasting impression of us in the community and in the hearts of our patients and their families. We’ve found that the best way to help continue, grow and pass on our culture is by focusing on our vision, mission and five key core values.
