Programs
Toward a more Systematic Approach
In addition to its leadership in providing grants to advance a progressive healthcare agenda in the Pittsburgh region, the Jewish Healthcare Foundation (JHF) takes a direct role in operating certain programs.
Pittsburgh Regional Health Initiative (PRHI)
A not–for–profit supporting organization of the JHF founded in 1997 as a consortium of Pittsburgh–area medical, business and civic leaders, PRHI's mission is to give champions in health care the tools, expertise, education, models and networks they need to perfect patient care and safety in their organizations.
Working Hearts®
To fulfill a need in the community, from 2002-2007 Working Hearts addressed the issue of heart disease as the leading cause of death among women, and that the symptoms of a heart attack in women can be different from those in men. We thank the coalition of more than 70 community organizations who worked with us to spread the word and helped the community adopt a healthier lifestyle.

Health Careers Futures(HCF)
