Mission

The Advocates is a membership organization of volunteers whose mission is to serve Upstate Medical University and its campuses. We do that primarily in two ways:

  • Direct service projects to improve and enhance patient care
  • Fund raising to provide funds in support of patient care enhancement and education

Scholarships

The Advocates for UMU scholarships will be awarded to employees and adult volunteers who are pursuing studies in an accredited institution in any health- related field.
