UC Gardner Neuroscience Institute

At the UC Gardner Neuroscience Institute, world-renowned specialists deliver compassionate care to patients and families facing complex neurologic and psychiatric disorders. Give the gift of hope on UC Day of Giving by selecting one of the funds listed below.

Gardner Center UCGNI Programmatic Fund: Support our most critical research initiatives focused on precision medicine and brain health.
UC Neuroscience Institute Fund: Empower our clinical care teams with the resources to identify the right treatment for the right patient at the right time, improving lives
Research and Education Discretionary Fund: Support the recruitment, retention and training of our future neuroscience leaders.
Neuroscience Institute Discretionary Fund: Allow our leaders to prioritize our most critical needs, including new novel technology and the recruitment of faculty.

The James J. and Joan A. Gardner Family Foundation recently made a leadership gift to lead the charge in transforming our neuroscience inpatient care unit. Matching gifts to this fund provides access to a level of advanced care that is important not only to our patients with complex health journeys, but also to our Cincinnati community should anyone unexpectedly need this level of acute care.

UC and UC Health employees can give via payroll deduction today.
