We also work in partnership with other organizations to provide a wide range of community benefit programs and services.
I had no idea Blake was opening a burn center, but I'm glad they did. When I burned my hand, Dr. Laura Velcu and her team were fantastic. The whole group took care of me like you wouldn't believe.
