This effort is part of the Army Reserve’s groundbreaking Employer Partnership Initiative (EPI). From this public-private employment partnership, both organizations will be able to recruit, train, and employ talented Army Reserve soldiers looking to serve both their nation and their community.

Mock move tests patient move planning — Staff members at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC and outside paramedics, emergency medical technicians, and others will conduct a second simulated patient move on Sunday, April 19, in preparation for the hospital's scheduled Saturday, May 2, patient move. Teams will move simulated patients from the Oakland hospital to the new Lawrenceville campus to test the staging, transport, communications, and potential reactions to emergency situations that will be used May 2. Which costs UPMC less: making copies of a document on a multifunction device (printer-scanner-copier) in your department or having the UPMC Print Shop make the copies? It costs about twice as much to do it in your department. Plan ahead and send the job to the UPMC Print Shop any time you need 50 copies or more, or have a large document to reproduce. Most orders are printed and delivered in three to four days, but if the order is a rush the Print Shop will complete it in the time frame needed. For further savings, limit your
use of color printing. UPMC pays 6 cents per page for color printing,
but only 1.9 cents per page for black-and-white printing. UPMC will join in the global observance of Earth Day on Wednesday, April 22.
