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 groundwork we lay today prepare us for whatever we face in the future. Whether it is taking a plot of land in a community eager for more health care options, or a young person who wants a career where they can help someone, UPMC is dedicated to laying those foundations to invest in the people and neighborhoods where we serve.
The October issue of First Friday is filled with stories highlighting how — through initiatives like the UPMC United Way campaign or Becoming a Parent benefits, and major investments like the building of UPMC Northwest and the success of six schools of nursing — we are creating a better future for ourselves and our communities.
