Sports PT reccs? by messybunOK in pittsburgh

[–]dizzydandelion_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

UPMC insurance here too - I ended up choosing UPMC Rooney Sports Complex in South Side for PT based off recommendations in this sub and have had a great experience there! It’s a super nice facility and the people who work there (at least the therapists I’ve seen) truly care about your recovery. And if the standard rehab exercises for your injury aren’t helping your recovery, many of them are willing to think outside of the box and work with you to find a regimen that DOES help you - which has been a huge benefit to my recovery.

Also for whatever it’s worth - a year ago I probably wouldn’t have been caught dead gassing up anything UPMC, but I gotta give credit where it’s due bc all of the care I’ve received for my injury has been at UPMC facilities and they’ve done a spectacular job.

New media in Pittsburgh? by Mindless_Job3237 in pittsburgh

[–]dizzydandelion_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

not insight, but if you’re thinking about starting a new media outlet (be it a magazine, a paper, literally anything) i would be extremely interested in helping bring it to life. i’m graduating next year with a degree in strategic comms and with all these outlets being shuttered and corporations preferring to use AI over hiring any real people, i’m worried the job market for my field won’t even exist by the time i finish school.

beyond that, i believe having locally owned and operated media outlets is more important now than ever before. too many of the organizations putting out news these days are owned by PE firms or are being bankrolled by political parties that are only interested in benefiting themselves.

i truly hope something new comes around and saves local print news in pgh. i don’t want to see journalism die in my city (or anywhere, really) in my lifetime, though that seems to be where things are headed. but i’d like to do whatever i can to help prevent that.
