It is our policy to provide equal employment opportunities (EEO) according to job qualifications without discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, age, sex, genetics, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or marital, familial, or disability status or status as a protected Veteran or any other legally protected group status. UPMC is committed to taking positive steps to eliminate barriers that may exist in EEO and in employment practices. Areas of focus include, but are not limited to: recruiting, hiring, promotion, demotion, transfer, layoff, termination, rates of pay or other forms of compensation, training, and education. UPMC will provide reasonable accommodation to known physical or mental limitations of an otherwise qualified employee or applicant for employment.

It is also our company’s policy to prohibit any and all forms of retaliation against any individual who has complained of harassing or discriminatory conduct, or participated in a company or agency investigation into such complaints.

Staff members and others working throughout the UPMC health system at all levels, are expected to implement and abide by the UPMC policy of nondiscrimination in services and employment opportunity. All staff members are expected to make every reasonable effort to carry out their responsibilities to assure that equal employment opportunity is available to all.

The non-confidential portions of the affirmative action program for individuals with disabilities and protected veterans shall be available for inspection upon request by any employee or applicant for employment by contacting the UPMC HR Compliance office at:

UPMC HR Compliance, U.S. Steel Tower, 600 Grant Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15219.
