🌟 Meet Greta Our Summer Intern! 🌟

Currently an upcoming junior at Virginia Tech studying Biological Sciences, she was drawn to this internship because of the unique opportunity to explore different areas of healthcare while making a meaningful impact in the Pittsburgh community.

“I was especially interested in the community outreach aspect of the internship. I’m excited to learn more about bone and joint health, help educate the public, and participate in the 5-point screening program.”

When she’s not studying or volunteering, she enjoys playing tennis, spending time with friends, and reading.

We’re thrilled to have her on board and can’t wait to see the impact she’ll make this summer! 👏

✨ Internship Spotlight ✨ We’re excited to share highlights from Madigan’s internship experience this summer!

"My internship experience gave me the opportunity to see healthcare from so many different perspectives, but one of the most meaningful moments was participating in Operation Walk Pittsburgh in Guatemala. Being part of an international medical mission and helping support patients regain mobility and quality of life reinforced my passion for patient-centered healthcare.

I also learned how much happens behind the scenes to shape the patient experience. Community outreach, education, communication, and care coordination all play a huge role in building trust and improving outcomes, especially when it comes to bone and joint health and early prevention.

This experience helped solidify my career goals in healthcare operations, where I hope to improve the way care is delivered, support care teams, and create a more seamless patient experience.

My advice to future interns: take initiative, stay curious, and say yes to opportunities that push you outside your comfort zone. Some of the most valuable experiences come from the unexpected, and the relationships you build along the way can have a lasting impact.” 💙
