Happiest Birthday to Dr Melissa Kerr the woman behind the scenes UPMC LM Project Manager and Be Well Therapies. Maybe 🤔 15 years ago I asked her to have tea with me after she taught an amazing therapeutic yoga class…Thankfully she said yes❤️ My life would never be the same if she was not by my side 🙏 We developed lifestyle, integrative, and mind-body medicine free community programs in healthy living, teaching kitchens, shop with a doc, yoga in the streets, spoke together on stages across the USA from Cleveland Clinic, Nemacolin Woodlands Resort and Spa, UPMC Physician and Nursing Wellbeing, Medical Schools(Pitt, LECOM, Duquesne), Wanderlust Yoga Festivals…. We have had pajama parties, laughed and cried together, taught medical students, nurses, physicians, and survived my recent transition into academia building my academic CV(this was when we cried)😆 The success of UPMC Lifestyle Medicine is completely attributed to Melissa keeping us organized. Many of you know her name, but I wanted to share her beautiful face and journey of how she has helped change healthcare and the lives of so many people. Let’s 🎉 celebrate the woman behind it all today the world is truly a better place because she was born💯 Thank you Melissa for all you do, for believing in us, and never leaving my side through it all it has been a wild ride 🫶🏽
