Through the UPMC Serves Employee Resource Group (ERG), employees can connect with other members of the military community for service projects, camaraderie, local events, and support of internal military/veteran initiatives.

In 2025 and 2026, UPMC partnered with the EZRA coaching service to provide free, personalized, career coaching for interested UPMC veterans. Each veteran received three, one-hour coaching sessions for a licensed and certified coach to assist in identifying career goals and refining their trajectory.
Each year, UPMC sponsors employees to attend Leadership Pittsburgh’s Community Leadership Course for Veterans (CLCV™). The Community Leadership Course for Veterans™ is a nationally recognized program that leverages the skills and experiences of current or former military service members for the betterment of Southwestern Pennsylvania.
Through participation in the program, CLCV™ cohort members have the opportunity to develop a greater understanding of our region, meet with business and community leaders, as well as utilize their leadership skills to accomplish a project in partnership with a local nonprofit organization. CLCV™ provides participants with the exposure, experiences, and connections that prepare them to tackle the challenges of our community. Approximately every two weeks, sessions cover topics such as corporate landscape, nonprofit landscape, history of Pittsburgh, networking and more.
The knowledge and associations obtained through CLCV™ can provide committed participants access to the platforms needed to take on civilian leadership roles within Southwestern Pennsylvania communities.
UPMC generously provides employees activated for National Guard or Reserve orders a pay differential match between their UPMC and military pay. While activated, UPMC will make up any difference so that employees “remain whole” and do not incur financial loss due to military service.
