Endowed Research Programs
The Value of Endowment
Children’s
Hospital of
Pittsburgh of UPMC
is fortunate
to have a
significant
number of
endowed chairs
to support
the hospital’s
mission. Endowment
funds offer
lasting financial
resources
because of
the income
generated
through careful
investment
management.
A strong endowment
enables the
hospital to
move forward
with plans
and projects
knowing that
permanent
resources
are available
to support
groundbreaking
research and
innovative
teaching programs.
The endowed
chairs listed
below were
established
through the
generosity
of foundations,
corporations
and individuals.
The physician
holding each
chair, together
with an advisory
committee,
determines
the teaching
and research
activities
that are supported
by income
from the chair.
