Judy joined UPMC Shadyside Family Health Center in 2021 as the Nurse Manager. She started as a Certified Nursing Assistant with UPMC in 2007. She received her nursing diploma at UPMC Shadyside Nursing School in 2013, her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Waynesburg University in 2017, and her Master of Health Administration from the University of Scranton in 2023. Judy is passionate about mentoring and supporting others to achieve excellence. She is skilled in problem-solving and developing creative solutions to enhance patient outcomes.
Judy plays an active role in the residency and cares deeply about Family Medicine. She participates in PGY1 resident orientation, teaches residents in the Health Systems Management rotation, and is a resource for quality, operations, and pretty much anything happening at Shadyside FHC.
She and Dr. Randy Kolb co-chair the Team for Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity. Judy is also the co-chair with Dr. José Abad of the Family Medicine Clinical Operations Committee which consists of physician and administrative leadership in UPP Family Medicine and all the Family Medicine residencies throughout UPMC.
Judy loves all things Disney, but maybe not as much as Dr. Jackie Weaver-Agostoni! In her free time, she likes reading, crochet, cross-stitch, Legos, and video games. She and her family enjoy attending her son's soccer games/tournaments, visiting National Parks, and vacationing at Walt Disney World.
