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.
At UPMC, our commitment to growth keeps us at the forefront of health care. Whether it’s our innovative facilities, community outreach initiatives, or advanced patient care models, UPMC teams continue to push traditional boundaries and pave the way for future care delivery.
The August issue of First Friday showcases how one program is impacting our community members and our environment in a big way, highlights a world-class, patient-focused approach in our intensive care units (ICUs), shines a light on the resources offered by our Disabilities Resource Center (DRC), and celebrates a decade of life-changing growth at UPMC.
The August issue includes:
Small Donations Make Large Impacts
The Medical Equipment Recycling Program (MERP) provides more people with access to crucial medical equipment, while also minimizing waste. Check out this win from UPMC Jameson.
Intensive Improvement
Every day across UPMC, patients in life-threatening situations get the quick and critical care they need in our intensive care units (ICUs). An innovative, tech-forward approach gets patients out of the ICU and on the road to recovery.
Disability Isn’t a Bad Word
Sometimes, making a difference begins with something as simple as a conversation. The Disabilities Resource Center is here to guide you as you talk to patients and help them access accommodations.
