ICYMI: Aletha Britt joined the team at Pitt Memorial Hospital in 1977 with hopes of becoming a nurse. Britt accepted the role as unit secretary in the post intensive care unit which gave her the opportunity to help people along the way.

Now, 48 years later, Britt has transitioned from unit secretary to medical secretary, nursing officer supervisor, and supervisor and educator for other unit secretaries. She currently has no plans of retirement with hopes to continue to serve the community. “It takes all of us to make this facility a great place to work. We all matter and make a difference, no matter how large or small the contribution,” said Britt.
