CARES in the Community, Part 1: Real People, Real Impact

In this episode of In Their Words, we spotlight Maureen Zimmerman, Director of Corporate Wellness at UPMC, and the innovative CARES program—Corporate Ambassador Resource and Employer Solutions. Maureen shares how her team brings health screenings, biometric testing, CPR training, and personalized wellness education directly to workplaces and communities across Central PA. From uncovering undiagnosed high blood pressure to empowering employers to care for their staff in meaningful ways, CARES is changing lives, one on-site visit at a time.Listeners will hear how this small but mighty team helps people take that crucial first step toward better health—especially those who may never otherwise walk through a clinic door. With help from the UPMC Pinnacle Foundation, CARES is bridging gaps, saving lives, and proving that sometimes, a 20-minute screening can lead to lifelong transformation.
