One year later, your gifts help save lives
In 2019, many of you joined us at Gala 2019, supporting Spectrum Health’s Level I Trauma Center. The leader in delivering time sensitive emergency care at the highest level any day, at any time, and for every type of injury.
A year later, nursing student Ryan Brown was struck by a car riding his moped. The support from Gala 2019 helped to grow the Trauma program, and allow the trauma team to perform live saving surgery to repair one of the worst rib fractures they have ever seen.
