E-cards
Make someone smile and send an e-card! Our free e-card service allows you to send a message or greeting to a hospitalized child.
- Your e-card will be electronically sent to the hospital and received by one of our staff members who will print and hand deliver the e-card.
- We make every effort to deliver the e-cards daily.
- We deliver cards to patients who are admitted to an inpatient unit at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh or Children’s Hospital Rehabilitation Unit.
- Please note that we are unable to deliver e-cards to patients in our Emergency Department, patients receiving outpatient treatment or surgery, patients who have been discharged, or patients who are located in a different facility.
- The content of your e-card message will be reviewed by staff members of UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh and should not contain private medical information. We reserve the right to not deliver e-cards containing inappropriate content.
