UPMC offers scholarships for symposium on aging The Pittsburgh region has one of the largest populations of senior citizens in the United States. Many UPMC Health System staff have older relatives and friends they help care and make decisions for in their personal lives. Because aging affects all of us, UPMC Health System will award 10 scholarships to staff members who are interested in learning more about aging, faith, wellness, and caregiving at the Little Sisters of the Poor Symposium on Aging, to be held Thursday, Oct. 7.
Lunch is included.
Local and national speakers will offer presentations that highlight the symposium's theme, Celebrating the Gift of Aging. Art Linkletter, a 60-year veteran of television and radio, will be the keynote speaker. The scholarship application deadline is Friday, Aug. 20. To apply, call Public Relations at 647-9887 and leave your name, the name of your department, and your daytime telephone number. Ten winners will be chosen randomly and will be notified by telephone by Tuesday, Aug. 31.
