Grateful Patient Giving
Say Thank You by Giving Back
Your gratitude can help others receive the same compassionate, high-quality care that made a difference in your life.
The UHS Grateful Patient Program
At UHS, we know exceptional care inspires gratitude. The Grateful Patient Program empowers patients and families to express gratitude in a meaningful way – through a charitable gift that supports the people, patient programs, technology and equipment that make outstanding, compassionate care possible.
Whether you wish to recognize a physician who provided comfort, a nurse who went above and beyond, or an entire care team, your gift helps sustain the vital UHS mission of service to our community.
