UPMC supports and provides health care for all conditions, illnesses, and medical needs. All health observances are important. Although we cannot recognize all of them through the UPMC colors, we work to represent as many as possible through the chosen color.
Why Purple in June?
For the month of June, UPMC has turned our sign at U.S. Steel Tower purple in honor of Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month, National Migraine and Headache Awareness Month, and World Vitiligo Day (June 20).
We would also like to recognize:
·
- Aphasia Awareness Month (gray).
- Cataract Awareness Month.
- Men’s Health Month (blue).
- Myasthenia Gravis Awareness Month (teal).
- National Cancer Survivors Day – June 2 (red, white, and blue).
- PTSD Awareness Month (teal).
- Scleroderma Awareness Month (teal).
- Scoliosis Awareness Month (green).
