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 new year brings opportunity for innovation, revitalization, and creativity. Perhaps your goals for 2025 include saying goodbye to stress and hello to mindfulness, a renewed focus on growing your career, or returning to a beloved extracurricular activity. At UPMC, we’re renewing our commitment to our most important assets: our people, patients, and the communities we serve.
The January issue of First Friday highlights those commitments by showcasing the extraordinary culinary vision of Shawn Lively, executive chef, UPMC in North Central Pa.; the ambitious and innovative Department of Otolaryngology; and the incredible care that UPMC physicians are bringing to our communities by meeting people exactly where they are:
What’s Cooking?
Shawn Lively, executive chef, has only been at UPMC in North Central Pa. for six months, but he’s already updated recipes, created new dishes, and ensured culinary consistency across the region.
From Where I Sit
When it comes to advancing medical innovation and patient care, few fields are as dynamic and impactful as the study of ear, nose, and throat (ENT) disorders. Jose Zevallos, MD, chair of the Department of Otolaryngology at UPMC, shares his vision for the department and the importance of collaboration in improving outcomes for patients.
Bringing Care to the Streets
Meeting people where they are is an important part of delivering health care. And that’s precisely how street medicine teams like those at UPMC and across the regions we serve helping treat those experiencing homelessness.
