To celebrate Doctors' Day, we're spotlighting Dr. Matthew Denenberg, Vice President and Department Chief of the Medical Group at Corewell Health Children's in Royal Oak.
Dr. Denenberg has dedicated his career to making sure kids receive safe, compassionate care when they need it most. From direct bedside care to leading teams, his motivation has always stayed the same. "When you help a child, you're influencing an entire lifetime," he said.
That passion shows up in moments big and small. Early in his career as an ER doctor in Alaska, Dr. Denenberg helped save a toddler who had been brought in unresponsive choking on a grape. Months later, he ran into the family at a grocery store. He watched that same little boy come running up the aisle, laughing and full of life. Dr. Denenberg shares, "It's a quiet reminder of why this work matters."
When he's not caring for patients and leading teams, you can find him spending time with his family, hiking with their dogs, or catching a sporting event.
Thank you, Dr. Denenberg, and to all of our doctors who make a difference every day. 💙
