GIVING AND SUPPORT
A RECORD YEAR FOR COMMUNITY SUPPORT UH was founded by and for this community and, for more than 155 years – in times of joy and struggle, good health and deep pain – the exceptional generosity of this community has sustained us. Last year, that generosity reached an unprecedented level, surpassing $200 million. In 2021, the community signaled its abiding faith in our mission and enduring trust in our caregivers, contributing nearly 12,000 gifts to support departments, programs and services across the health system.

AHUJA FAMILY SUPPORTS COMMUNITY-BASED CARE FOR WOMEN AND CHILDREN A transformational gift of more than $10 million from Monte and Usha Ahuja is supporting Monte and Usha Ahuja community-based care and services for women and children at UH Rainbow Babies & Children’s health center in MidTown. The gift, made in honor of the Ahuja daughters – Manisha Ahuja Sethi and Ritu Ahuja Khanna – builds on the family’s legacy of generosity and civic engagement. In recognition of their generosity, UH renamed the center the UH Rainbow Babies & Children’s Ahuja Center for Women & Children. A portion of the gift also established the Monte and Usha Ahuja Chair in Clinical Excellence in honor of Richard L. Stein, MD. “Monte and Usha’s extraordinary gift is a testament to their passion for health care and their dedication to strengthening our community,” said Cliff A. Megerian, MD, FACS, UH Chief Executive Officer and Jane and Henry Meyer Chief Executive Officer Distinguished Chair. “Their visionary support in 2006 helped redefine community health care with UH Ahuja Medical Center and, now, they are furthering their commitment to UH Rainbow.”
