"FNB's gift to This Moment is not only a commitment to enhancing behavioral health access to our patients and families but will also serve as a model for pediatric hospitals to replicate across the country," said Rachel Petrucelli, UPMC Children's Hospital Foundation president. "This gift helps fund our bold vision to fuel critical advancements in pediatric health and enables us to pioneer in the behavioral health field nationally."
The FNB Hub for Family Support will provide the structure, education and training to identify and sustain a pool of Family Support Partners – individuals who have lived experience as a parent or individual with a similar diagnosis that has successfully navigated the behavioral health system. Family support partners offer an understanding perspective, provide well-researched resources, and help families to navigate care. Hiring for Family Support Partners will begin in 2026, with FNB's gift funding three positions with a desire to expand staffing across the hospital.
"Adding family support partners to our team of behavioral health providers can be the difference-maker in getting families to critical appointments, navigating resources in the community and, ultimately, realizing happy, healthy outcomes," added Petrucelli.
"FNB is committed to Pittsburgh's continued success. What greater way to demonstrate our commitment than to invest in our region's children?" said FNB Chairman, President and CEO Vincent J. Delie, Jr. "To ensure local youth are equipped to thrive in the future, we need to provide families with better access to behavioral health services today. We are honored to be able to support UPMC Children's in their leading-edge work."
This Moment is the most ambitious fundraising campaign in UPMC Children's history with a goal to raise $200 million to spark transformational advancements clinical excellence, patient experience, research and community health. With this gift from F.N.B., the Foundation has reached 71% of its goal in funding behavioral health services and access.
