Friends of Prentice has focused on the mission of saving lives of women and infants, bringing difficult pregnancies to successful birth, advancing research on several fronts critical to women and improving the quality of life for health-challenged families. Since 1986, Friends of Prentice, through its generous supporters, sponsors and board members, has raised over $14 million to fund programs and capital projects at Prentice Women’s Hospital.

The new Prentice Women's Hospital opened in the fall of 2007. The new one million square foot facility provides comprehensive and coordinated care for women of all ages and life stages. Through the generosity of our supporters, we were able to make a vital, five-year pledge to name the Friends of Prentice Floor for Outpatient Testing and Women's Programs in the new hospital, and we continue to support important fellowship training in maternal fetal medicine, the discovery of causes and new treatments for women's cancers and the advancement of research in prenatal diagnosis.
