UPMC supports and provides health care for all conditions, illnesses, and medical needs. All health observances are important. Although we cannot recognize all of them through the UPMC colors, we work to represent as many as possible through the chosen color.
Why Green in May?
For the month of May, UPMC has turned our sign at U.S. Steel Tower green in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month.
From May 6 to 12, our sign will be red in honor of National Nurses Week.
