Today is Global Fatty Liver Day. We had the honor of joining the organization NASH kNOWledge in UPMC Presbyterian Hospital yesterday to hand out informational materials. Today is a reminder to monitor your health and reach out when you need help. There are many resources available for those struggling with MASLD (Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatosis Liver Disease) or a fatty liver. Feel free to access the NASHkNOWledge website and many others for answers or connect with our team for research opportunities.

Happy Valentines Day and National Donor Day! ❤️ We are so incredibly grateful to all of our research participants, we wouldn't be able to improve the way we care for and treat patients without your help. Today is a reminder to give a little extra love to your liver and show those in your life that you care for them.
On a day when people celebrate love by exchanging flowers and chocolates, there's another way you can show you care for others – by making a life-saving decision to become an organ donor.
National Donor Day is observed every year on February 14. It is a day dedicated to raising awareness of the importance of organ, eye, tissue, blood, bone marrow, and platelet donation. National Donor Day is also an opportunity to recognize those who have given the gift of donation, have benefitted from a donation, are currently waiting for a life-saving donation, or did not receive an organ in time. Give the gift of life. https://go.upmc.com/17906M-JY

It's ! Today we celebrate physicians like Dr. Swaytha Ganesh who provide hope and care to patients while encouraging the next generation of women to pursue a career in medicine.
"Every day is a new day to do something helpful and to contribute in big and small ways. If someone is truly passionate about becoming a physician, they should do everything it takes to become one. Every step of the journey is completely worth it. I believe strongly that women physicians can bring care, compassion, and empathy along with outstanding clinical skills to the patient's bedside. I love what I do. This is my true purpose."
