Endowments
From chairs to fellowships, endowments provide permanent, annual support to University Hospitals. Endowed gifts are a wonderful way for individuals or a family to honor a particular physician and they support groundbreaking clinical trials, educational opportunities and the latest, cutting-edge treatments.

Creating an Endowment
There are several ways to establish an endowment:
- Chairs - provide a recurring income stream for leading-edge research and innovative practices;
- Master Clinician - recognizes our leading physician-scientists;
- Endowed Directors - recognizes medical professionals in leadership positions;
- Fellowships - provide assistance in our ongoing efforts to recruit young, highly talented physicians to UH;
- Funds in support of a particular area of UH.
Establishing an endowment supports UH during a donor’s lifetime and for generations to come, ensuring your generosity will forever be a guiding force in our success.
