The Magee Society — Join Today!
The Magee Society consists of an elite group of donors who are passionate about providing support to advance Magee-Womens medical care and research on women’s health issues.
The society is named for Christopher Magee who established a tradition of health care philanthropy out of his desire to see that all women, regardless of ability to pay, had access to adequate medical care. In 1911, the Elizabeth Steel Magee Hospital was dedicated in memory of Mr. Magee’s mother.
Through a leadership gift of $500 or more annually to Magee-Womens Foundation, you too, can be included in Mr. Magee’s tradition of generosity.
