Advancing Staff Excellence
By supporting the next generation of healthcare professionals, the community plays a vital role in strengthening our local healthcare system.
Training equipment, scholarships, and advanced certification opportunities ensure that the UPMC Northwest team remains equipped with the latest skills and expertise, enabling them to provide you and your loved ones with the highest level of care possible.
Stephen C. and Marie F. Cenedella Nursing Scholarship
This scholarship was established to offset the cost of education intended to advance the scholarship recipient’s skills or qualifications as a member of the Hospital’s nursing staff. Recipients will exemplify excellence in clinical practice, professional development and should be both self-directed and independent in the practice of his/her profession.
UPMC Northwest Medical Staff Scholarship
The UPMC Northwest medical staff recognizes both the need for more clinical staff and the struggle nonclinical employees face to finance clinical education. This scholarship is awarded to hospital employees who are working toward a degree or certificate related to providing direct patient care.
Stephanie Brackbill Gives Back
Stephanie Brackbill is there for people in their time of need. As the Palliative Nurse Navigator at UPMC Northwest, she cares for patients with chronic illness or terminal diagnoses. Her role is to bring these patients comfort by assisting with symptom management, advanced care planning, diagnosis support, and end-of-life care. Her job is deeply personal and impactful for patients and their families.
