Cameos of Caring
On November 8, 2014, CORE was pleased to recognize Melissa Curtis of
UPMC Presbyterian as the recipient of the 2014 Donate Life Award at the
16th annual Cameos of Caring, held by the University of Pittsburgh School
of Nursing.
The Cameos of Caring Donate Life Award was given to Melissa, a resident
of Imperial, who serves as a clinician on the neurovascular intensive care
unit and has been a passionate, tireless supporter of donation at UPMC
Presbyterian. Melissa fosters a culture of donation among hospital staff
and addresses the emotional needs of families as their loved one gives the
gift of life through donation.
