  • Violates another’s copyright or other intellectual property rights
  • Condones or promotes illegal activity
  • Is misleading, fraudulent, or deceptive
  • Uses harsh, obscene, hateful, or threatening language
  • Is spam, or intended to cause technical disruptions to this page or Facebook
  • Offers unauthorized advice or tips
  • Is off-topic or excessive
  • Violates the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
UPMC employees are bound by the UPMC Social Networking Policy, and any posts that do not meet those guidelines are subject to removal.
