Women's Center & Shelter Spring Clothes Out

No one should be the victim of domestic violence. Unfortunately, it happens every day to women, children, and men at the hands of a spouse, partner, or parent. About one in three women in America have been abused by a husband, boyfriend, or partner at some point in their life. Abuse can be physical, sexual, emotional, financial, or psychological — often leaving scars that take years to heal.

The Women’s Center & Shelter (WC&S) is making a difference in the fight against domestic violence in our area. Every year WC&S provides help and hope to thousands of victims in the Pittsburgh area who have been affected by domestic violence.

UPMC Health Plan is proud to be the lead sponsor of the WC&S Spring Clothes Out event on May 7. Diane P. Holder, president and CEO of UPMC Health Plan, is the first-ever honorary chair of this event.

“UPMC Health Plan is proud to contribute to the efforts of this wonderful organization, and we offer our congratulations to this year’s event honoree, the Allegheny County District Attorney’s
Domestic Violence Unit,” said Ms. Holder.
