Charitable Acts Throughout Allegheny, Butler and Beaver Counties
Since St. Barnabas was founded by Brother Gouverneur P. Hance in 1900, charitable contributions have been a critical cornerstone in our mission to provide comprehensive, compassionate care – regardless of an individual’s ability to pay. Building on our heritage, St. Barnabas Health System continues to reach out to those in need across the greater Pittsburgh surrounding area.
St. Barnabas Charities, a 501(c)3 organization and the fundraising arm of
St. Barnabas Health System, is proud to offer several giving options that support the Free Care Fund.


Free Care Fund & Giving Options
The St. Barnabas Free Care Fund raises money to provide free services to patients and residents at St. Barnabas Nursing Home, The Arbors in Gibsonia, Valencia and Beaver Meadows, who otherwise could not afford care. We are proud to fundraise over $6 million towards free services every year and over $135 million since 1967, providing financial assistance that can improve the health and wellbeing of elderly people in Allegheny, Beaver and Butler counties. The St. Barnabas Free Care Fund helps cover the costs of continuing coverage of care, in line with our continuum of care philosophy, so residents never have to worry that they will be forced to leave their living assisted or retirement community due to payment issues.
St. Barnabas raises funds for the Free Care Fund through annual events, gifts and various businesses. Your generous gift helps us continue this tradition of caring for all. Tax deductible donations to our Free Care Fund can be made at any time! To learn more about how you can support the Free Care Fund, click the links below.
