Restricted funds are established to support a variety of programs, services and equipment for Windber Medical Center patients and the community. The following is a list of restricted funds:
Joyce Murtha Breast Care Center - In the United States, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and the second leading cause of female cancer death (only lung cancer has more). Approximately one in seven women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. The American Cancer Society estimates that each year nearly 215,990 American women and 1,450 American men will be diagnosed with breast cancer.
Over 40,110 women and 470 men will die from breast cancer this year.
The Joyce Murtha Breast Care Center offers a full range of diagnostic services related to breast health and disease. In addition, Bone Densitometry is available to diagnose osteoporosis. The Center houses a digital mammography unit as well as film screen mammography equipment. Stereotactic breast biopsy, using the mammotome device offers women a less painful, less invasive way of having a breast lump biopsied for diagnosis. Ultrasound equipment also provides diagnostic capabilities at the Center.
Pastoral Care Program - underwrites Pastoral Care Programs and services in addition to physical upgrades to the Chapel/Meditation Room within the Medical Center complex.
Windber Research Institute
WRI is one of the most integrated clinical, genomic and proteomic research facilities in the world, acquiring, storing thousands of clinical samples each year within its tissue repository and carrying out analysis using a proprietary data warehouse and analysis system. Researchers analyze these samples at the cellular and molecular level to identify DNA, RNA and proteins that cause disease so that new diagnostics and therapeutics, as well as disease management protocols, can be developed.
The Windber Healthcare Foundation is organized under the laws of Pennsylvania and a tax-exempt organization under section 501c(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions to The Foundation are tax deductible as provided by the law.
Tribute Program - Tribute gifts are one of the most meaningful ways you can contribute.

Gifts can commemorate any special occasion, accomplishment, or serve as a thoughtful expression of sympathy.

By making a gift, you will not only support healthcare today, but for many generations to come. Gifts in any amount are always appreciated.
