By HFT Staff


UPMC announced a major philanthropic gift from Daniel G. and Carole L. Kamin and the Kamin Family Foundation to UPMC Presbyterian. Because of the Kamin family’s gift of $65 million and their longtime support of the hospital and the Pittsburgh community, the new UPMC Presbyterian bed tower, now under construction, will be named the Daniel G. and Carole L. Kamin Tower.  

The Kamins supported the construction of the UPMC Mercy Pavilion where the reception lobby is named in their honor.  

The Kamin Tower, a 636-bed facility adjacent to the current UPMC Presbyterian, will feature leading-edge technology to improve the patient experience. Patients will benefit from modern, private rooms with natural light, easier access to services like imaging and shared spaces for loved ones to spend time. Providers and staff will enjoy collaborative spaces and integrated systems to make providing care seamless. The community will take advantage of spaces for local vendors, artists, farmers markets,and a full-service restaurant.  

Now approximately 70 percent complete, the tower is projected to open for patient care in early 2027.
