Hello, I hope this email finds you well! My name is Carmen Vasquez and I am excited to be joining PTMC as Executive Assistant to CMO, Gloria Underwood.
To introduce myself, I hold a Master of Science in Health Care Management from Johns Hopkins University and a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Minor in Science and Public Policy from Barnard College. For the past five years, I've worked with various non-profit organizations to secure grant funding and restructure internally with the goal of optimizing productivity while ensuring resiliency. I am passionate about examining systems and structures to first understand its functions and short-comings, and using data to innovate where needed.
To be transparent, I was brought on to assist Ms. Underwood in bridging the gap between staff, patients, and administration. It is my understanding that there is a disconnect within PTMC that interferes with the overall culture and functionality of the hospital. As a public safety net hospital and Level 1 Trauma Center, it is essential to the health and wellbeing of all patients that every staff member feels that they are safe, heard, and valued.
With collaboration, honest communication, and compassion, I firmly believe that we can collectively work to make PTMC a better environment for every person who walks through our doors. In the coming days, I will be visiting each department and I hope to speak to you all about your goals and visions for improvement.
If you have any questions, concerns, or would like to introduce yourself, my door (in the administrative suite) is always open.
Thank you so much for your dedication and service, it does not go unseen.

there’s a certain kind of sadness that comes only in the quiet of the night. it makes your ears ring with every anxiety in the world. and then there’s the loneliness of success and accomplishment. but this is what i worked so hard for. i should be happy. i am happy.
Thank you so much for your dedication and service to the greater Pittsburgh community’s health. If you are going out this weekend, please remember to stay hydrated and look after your own well-being. If you are in need of extra supplies (water bottles, handheld fans, cotton clothing, hats, etc), the local homeless coalition has donations for distribution to other organizations. PTMC will be receiving materials later this afternoon and can be picked up as needed.
Your heart for our community does not go unnoticed. Please stay safe and cool this holiday weekend!
There are cupcakes, cookies, and sandwiches from Mill & Honey in the conference room on the admin floor. Please feel free to send staff up in rotations to get some delicious treats. I can also bring them down to your department if staff are unavailable. Thank you for all your hard work!
And thank you to Vivi at Mill & Honey for her delectable creations!
