Program Manager
University of Pennsylvania
Brittany Salerno, MPH, is a project manager of ED-Initiated Buprenorphine at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center. She takes pride in compassionately supporting her patients and navigating them to the best level of care possible in the acute care setting. She received her Masters of Public Health from the University of Pennsylvania in December 2022. Her passions include targeting interventions to mitigate stigma and racial disparities across public health, drug policy reform, and documentary-style photography for social change. She is an active harm reduction advocate both in the hospital setting and in her surrounding Philadelphia communities. She has become involved in harm reduction research and hopes that her work in this space can motivate future initiatives that support the rights and well-being of people who use drugs.
