The charitable underpinnings of University Medical Center at Princeton began in 1919 with the donation of this modest farmhouse at 253 Witherspoon Street as the first PrincetonHospital by Princeton philanthropist Moses Taylor Pyne. Eight decades later, charitable support remains the most important source of funding for clinical equipment and new facilities.

Princeton HealthCare System Foundation was established in 1978 to support the advancement of University Medical Center at Princeton.
