UPMC’s efforts to benefit its community focus on a “big picture” that is broader and deeper than one might expect from a health care organization. This outlook stems from UPMC’s overall mission of providing health care, regardless of ability to pay; pushing back the boundaries of biomedical knowledge to continually reinvent medical practice; and educating future generations of healers.

During Fiscal Year 2009, UPMC invested more than $540 million to enhance the health and welfare of the community and helped the region weather the biggest recession in two generations.
