The Foundation
The ACMS Foundation - created, funded, and administered by physicians - holds
an honored place in Pittsburgh's health care history.
Instituted in 1960, ACMS started the Foundation with leftover donations from
the polio immunization program. The immunization effort was undertaken by ACMS
and the Allegheny County Health Department, and sparked a public outpouring of
donations collected in jars on the streets of Pittsburgh.
The Foundation has since given $1 million back to the community, and is still
guided by its original mission:
to alleviate suffering by helping people of all backgrounds live better,
healthier lives through access to health care, education, and related services.
The Foundation traditionally supports programs
that find practical solutions to very real problems in our community.
