First Friday, UPMC’s digital internal magazine, publishes monthly and aims to capture the spirit of innovation, dedication to caring, and attention to quality that permeates the work done across UPMC every day.
The May issue of First Friday highlights the profound impact of compassion, a common thread that unites us at UPMC. Each story showcases how individuals embody this value in different ways, contributing to our mission of providing exceptional care and fostering a supportive community.
From a mother’s drive to make a difference in the health care industry to a physician’s commitment to building trusting relationships with patients, and a community of knitters and crocheters spreading goodwill, our team gives back wholeheartedly. By nurturing a caring environment, we enhance both patient care and the workplace experience, demonstrating that compassion is at the heart of everything we do.
