A WORD FROM OUR CEO Friends, As we bring 2019 to a close and welcome 2020, I would like to thank you for your dedication to Magee-Womens Research Institute & Foundation. We deeply value your support, which brings us closer every day to our vision of a better, healthier world in which women’s health has the scientific prominence and cultural status it deserves. Our partnerships with foundations, corporations and individual donors contribute to our longevity and help us pursue new opportunities in support of our mission. As the year ends, I am particularly proud to share the conclusion of our fundraising campaign, reaching our goal of $100 million. Five years ago, MWRI and its board of directors embarked on an ambitious campaign to change the world’s thinking about human health by establishing women’s health as the standard for which all consideration will proceed. UPMC made a commitment to match funds raised until the end of 2019, resulting in the $100 million that will exponentially increase our resources, leverage more government research dollars and increase revenue for research programs, endowments, major equipment

and national and global outreach to accelerate researcher recruitment and train upcoming young scientists. Also this year, thanks to a grant from the Erie Community Foundation, MWRI for the first time expanded outside of Pittsburgh. Together with cancer clinicians from UPMC Hillman Cancer Center, our researchers will work to identify potential new diseases where genetics may be a significant factor. This partnership will elevate the level of care for women in Erie, PA and it will build upon the reputation and clinical expertise we have brought to Erie through UPMC Magee and UPMC Hillman by adding research and clinical trials specific to the community. Our relationships with local foundations have also grown over the past year. From funding research dedicated to increasing our understanding of pregnancy health and infant mortality, to grants that will support our physical expansion here in Pittsburgh, local foundations are helping us grow and develop in extraordinary ways. Whether you are a family supporting our IVF and NICU services by attending our annual reunions, a foundation partnering with us to find solutions for maternal mortality, or an individual donating to help advance laboratory research, your investment is a commitment to improving women’s health here in Pittsburgh and around the world. On behalf of our staff, clinicians and researchers, thank you for your financial contribution and ongoing support. Your investment is a commitment to improving women’s health on a local, national and international scale. We hope to see you at our events over the coming year, to thank you personally and to update you in real time on the incredible work happening at Magee-Womens Research Institute & Foundation.

SHEILA E. AND SUPPORTERS UNITE TO CHAMPION WOMEN’S HEALTH RESEARCH DR. SHARON HILLIER IS WOMEN WHO ROCK AWARDEE On May 30th, 2019, a phenomenal lineup of female musicians joined forces to turn up the volume on women’s health. Supporters rocked to the sounds of the legendary Sheila E., raising over $100,000 for women’s and infants’ health research at Magee-Womens Research Institute & Foundation. So how did MWRIF, the nation’s largest independent research institute dedicated solely to women’s health, come to be the beneficiary of Women who Rock’s annual concert? It was a match meant to be.

“Women are woefully underrepresented in the music industry,” said Melinda Colaizzi, founder of Women who Rock. “And after participating at an MWRIF benefit, I learned that women are underrepresented in health care research funding, too.” “The speakers that evening brought me back to my own mom, a cancer survivor, and all the women I know who have faced women’s health issues,” said Colaizzi. “Learning about the disparity in research dollars made me think: why not come together and rock the future of health care for all women?” The Women who Rock Award was presented to Sharon Hillier, Ph.D. Dr. Hillier, an internationally recognized microbiologist, was a natural choice for the award. Her work has influenced an entire field of research based on the intersection of women’s health and HIV prevention. Ensuring women and girls across the globe have agency and autonomy over their bodies has an impact that can transform women’s lives and health. Congratulations to Dr. Hillier.

Melinda Colaizzi, founder of Women who Rock, with the concert’s headliner, legendary percussionist Sheila E. Women who Rock empowers women in music through workshops, performance opportunities, networking and an annual concert that benefits Magee-Womens Research Institute & Foundation.

The 4th Annual Women who Rock is slated for May 15, 2020, with Sheila E. and her super group headlining. To learn more about Women who Rock, visit https://womenwhorock.info. 12 I


I was so excited to headline this important concert that supports women’s health and empowerment... Now is the time to stand up for all women.

– Sheila E.

RICHARD KING MELLON FOUNDATION AWARDS MWRI $5.1 MILLION TO FIGHT INFANT MORTALITY Magee-Womens Research Institute & Foundation received $5.1 million from the Richard King Mellon Foundation to fund Phase II of a research project designed to reduce infant mortality. The end goal of this grant is the creation of a tool allowing physicians to practically apply the most current infant mortality research on a patient-by-patient basis. Infant mortality, defined as death occurring within the first year of life, claimed the lives of 77 infants in Allegheny County in 2017 — a rate 5% higher than the national average according to the Center for Disease Control and Preventions’ WONDER online database of public health statistics. Additionally, racial disparities — or inequalities in mortality rates for minorities — are over 5 times higher for black infants than white infants in Allegheny County.

This grant will help us continue our work to fight infant mortality and other adverse pregnancy outcomes that drastically impact the lives of mothers and families. – Yoel Sadovsky, M.D., Executive Director of MWRI

18 I

“Research advances continue to be made, yet infant mortality is still a major problem in the United States. The reason these rates are so much higher here than in other industrialized countries can’t be linked to one single issue,” explained Michael Annichine, chief executive officer of MWRI. “As the largest research institute in the nation dedicated to women’s and infants’ health, the Magee-Womens Research Institute has the strongest potential to combat the high rates of infant mortality. We want to thank the Richard King Mellon Foundation for this important funding that enables our partnerships and research teams to expand upon their previous work.”

Magee-Womens Research Institute & Foundation is grateful to our donors who fuel our research and enhance patient care and education. Your investment enables research that directly affects patient care today and contributes to a growing body of knowledge that will create healthier tomorrows in Pittsburgh and around the globe. Millions of women, infants, and men will benefit from your partnership with us.


THE NAME MAGEE IS SYNONYMOUS WITH HEALTH CARE FOR WOMEN AND INFANTS. More than 100 years of innovation and excellence have propelled Magee to national prominence. Today, Magee stands at the forefront of women’s health research. Individually and collectively, our researchers are changing the landscape of health care through the lens of women’s health research. This incredible work is impacting lives today, tomorrow, and well into the future. Thanks to the support of its donors, Magee has touched the lives of countless women and infants throughout the Pittsburgh region and beyond. Philanthropic support has helped to ensure that the discoveries made at the laboratory bench are translated into advancements at the patient bedside. Researchers at Magee are challenging conventional thinking and finding better methods of treatment and prevention. Despite many advances, they never lose sight of the reality that their work is far from being complete. There are more questions to be asked, more theories to be challenged, more hope to be developed. With the continued support of donors, Magee will remain at the forefront of women’s health research.
