The theme for the celebration, Care Beyond Compare, recognizes the quality care that PSTs and UTs provide to patients. PSTs assist nurses with patient care and unit orders and act as liaisons between patients, hospital staff, visitors, and ancillary departments.
UTs provide the same support and also perform clerical duties on patient units.
In appreciation of their efforts, PSTs and UTs will receive prepaid telephone cards. The celebration also will include a beach party reception on Tuesday, June 8, from 2 to 4 p.m. at 1105 UPMC Conference Center, Scaife Hall, 11th floor, and complimentary 10-minute massages.
