Family House Pittsburgh

In 1983, Family House opened its doors to patients and their families, providing them with comfortable, affordable surroundings while they underwent specialized hospital treatment at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC), the Western Pennsylvania Hospital , and other hospitals in the Pittsburgh area.

Family House provides a special “home away from home” for patients and/or their families who are in Pittsburgh for treatment of serious or life threatening illnesses. By offering convenient, affordable housing in a home-like environment through a network of support, comfort and compassion, it reduces the emotional and financial stress for people facing a desperate medical crisis in a city where they may be strangers. Family House is a 501 (C) (3) not-for-profit charitable organization governed by a community Board of Directors.
