When our team first met Dan, an Expert Professional Staff Nurse in the ICU at UPMC Western Maryland, we could tell he was not only great at his job, but a great person, too — and so many people agreed! After sharing a post about Dan on our UPMC Careers social accounts earlier in the summer, folks flooded our comments with stories and support for Dan. Here’s just a few comments of what Dan’s community and colleagues had to say about him:

“Excellent nurse! [Dan] took the best of care of my husband in the cardiac unit. Tops in knowledge, skill and compassion.”

“I was with Dan as a nursing student and he is the absolute best! He is amazing to learn from and he goes above and beyond for all of his patients.”

“Dan is absolutely one of the best!! My husband received exceptional care from Dan and several other ICU/CVU nurses! I knew that my husband was in such good hands with Dan as his nurse and it gave me a sense of comfort. Thanks Dan for everything!!”

“Dan is one of the best. He is a role model for all nurses.”

We are proud to call Dan a member of our UPMC team!

Sharing Sarah's story 🥾⛰️

A few years ago, Sarah was happily employed as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) at UPMC Presbyterian. But something in her knew it was time for something life changing. A few months later, Sarah would set out on an adventure of a lifetime, hiking the entirety of the 2,190 miles of the Appalachian Trail (AT).

As Sarah tells it, the story of her thru-hike is one about overcoming her fears and breaking out of her norms. Perhaps it’s best summarized by a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson: “What we fear of doing most is usually what we most need to do.” Sarah returned to her role after completing the AT and remains employed by UPMC as a CRNA, but her adventure remains one of our favorite stories to share.

Read more about Sarah's journey on the UPMC Careers blog and be inspired! https://mycareer.upmc.com/sarahrobison-lci/

For Adam Brodginski, becoming a certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA) was about more than advancing his clinical skills—it was about finding a place where he could grow professionally while staying grounded in a meaningful, community-focused environment.

When he came to UPMC Williamsport, Adam found exactly that. Drawn by the hospital’s strong reputation in cardiac care and the collaborative nature of its team, he quickly felt at home. “There’s a real culture of mutual respect here,” he says. “CRNAs are included in complex cases, supported by leadership, and trusted as an essential part of the care team.”

One thing that stood out to Adam was how approachable and supportive his colleagues were from the start. “Everyone’s committed to doing the best for our patients, and that shared purpose creates a really positive atmosphere.” He also values UPMC’s focus on continued learning—through mentorship, training, and opportunities to stay at the forefront of clinical care.

But work is only one part of the picture. For Adam, life outside the hospital is just as important—and that’s another reason he’s happy to call north central Pennsylvania home.

“There’s so much to do outdoors—kayaking, hiking, biking, you name it,” he says. “We’re surrounded by incredible parks and trails. And it’s a great place to raise a family. It feels safe, the schools are strong, and there’s a true sense of community.”

His advice to fellow CRNAs considering a change? “If you’re even thinking about it—do it. UPMC Williamsport is a hidden gem.”

Meet Roger!

Roger's career began 30 years ago as he worked in various police departments in Western Pennsylvania, each step adding to his wealth of experience. After years of service, Roger retired a few years ago...that was, until he decided he missed the sense of duty that came with being a police officer. Flash forward to today at UPMC Magee, where Robert is now an esteemed member of the team. 👮

"They say the best job is one that does not feel like a job … I enjoy coming to work and enjoy my workers and the patients and visitors here. I have and will continue to tell other officers who are ready to retire to apply for a job here."

Roger's passion for community service doesn't stop there. He has established a Facebook group called "Bringing Police and Kids Together" to help children feel more comfortable around police officers. Through this initiative, he has collected and distributed stuffed animals to kids and patients at Magee Hospital, bringing smiles and comfort to so many. 🧸 As a result of his work, Roger was honored with the Sunshine Award in 2023 and the ACES Award in 2024. ⭐

Roger's journey and work at UPMC Magee embody the core values of UPMC: compassion, dedication, and community service. By fostering a safe and welcoming environment, he helps UPMC achieve its mission of providing outstanding patient care and improving the health and well-being of every patient and community.

Thank you, Roger, for who you are and what you do!
