UPMC’s February Issue of First Friday Offers a Front Seat to Healing
By: UPMC
First Friday is a digital monthly magazine shared with UPMC employees. It aims to capture the spirit of innovation, dedication to caring, and attention to quality that permeates the work done across UPMC every day. This is the first year that this internal magazine will be available to the public.
The path forward is not always easy — often riddled with roadblocks and bumps along the way. But whether it’s receiving care, working toward professional goals, or making the next innovative leap, you can take comfort in knowing that you are not on the journey alone. UPMC is here to support its employees, patients, members, and communities as they heal, grow, and take on the next big challenge ahead.
The February issue of First Friday highlights this support by showcasing the important work being done daily by UPMC peer specialists, and how UPMC is lending a hand in easing the financial burden of our physicians working closely with our communities. From the most recent School of Nursing graduation to groundbreaking, innovative advancements, take a deeper look at how UPMC is extending their support to all:
