The Friends of University Hospitals is excited to announce that we will join the University Hospital Foundation (UHF) by way of acquisition. We look forward to being supported by the UHF as we deliver beloved programs and services that enhance patient, staff, and family experience. We will continue serving the hospital community at the Gift Shop and enriching the hospital with our Arts in Health Programs: The Artists on the Wards, The UAH Art Collection and McMullen Gallery. We are also thrilled to explore the possibility of re-establishing the Nancy Lieberman Special Purpose Fund.
