UPMC’s July Issue of First Friday Highlights Hidden Talents
By: UPMC
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.
It’s far too easy to judge a book by its cover or a job by its title. We assume we see the full picture, but often there is so much more just beyond the obvious. The July issue of First Friday is filled with stories of how our UPMC team members embody this idea. UPMC Somerset and UPMC Western Maryland are encouraging local students to learn about all the careers available in a hospital beyond clinical care, UPMC in Central Pa. and UPMC in North Central Pa. are helping patients realize there are more ways to care for their spines, and employees across UPMC are sharing their hidden talents.
The July issue includes:
Start With a Win: Local Students Learn About Careers in Health Care
It’s the “backbone” of the specialized spine care program of UPMC in Central Pa. and UPMC in North Central Pa. Meet the multidisciplinary teams that are bringing together the fields of orthopaedics and neurosurgery to develop the best treatment plans for their patients.
