Across the United States, measles illness and deaths are on the rise because fewer people are receiving the MMR vaccine. The U.S. achieved “measles elimination status” in 2000 because high vaccination rates prevented the spread of measles. But as more people opt out of routine vaccination, measles outbreaks have surged across the country. The MMR vaccine is the best protection against measles. If you have questions about vaccination, talk with your doctor. https://go.upmc.com/35254R1Yz

Join us in congratulating the High Level Care team on receiving the Team DAISY Award! 🌼

Presented twice each year, the Team DAISY Award recognizes nursing teams that provide extraordinary, compassionate care to patients and their families.

The High Level Care team was nominated by the wife of a patient with complicated Alzheimer's disease, who shared how the staff's kindness, communication, and patience brought comfort during a difficult time.

She expressed gratitude for the many nurses and team members who took the time to answer questions, provide updates, explain care in a way she could understand, and treat her husband with dignity and compassion.

"The entire team has been so wonderful and that is why I want to recognize all of them."

Thank you to the High Level Care team for the exceptional care you provide every day and for making a difference when patients and families need it most.
