UPMC’s March Issue of First Friday Highlights Our Extraordinary Trailblazers
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.
Community is at the center of everything we do at UPMC. Whether you look at community as a group of individuals with a shared characteristic or goal, or think of it more as a particular area or place, community-focused care is at the forefront of what UPMC consistently delivers.
The March issue of First Friday highlights various communities throughout UPMC, including some of our extraordinary women physicians who are changing lives through their respective specialties. Also this month, we look at how UPMC provides opportunities for young people in Pittsburgh to gain experience in high-need job roles through partnerships with various community organizations, demonstrate how UPMC is expanding emergency medicine in rural communities, and look back on a decade of community-focused storytelling initiatives.
