Every day, our emergency department team meets people in the most frightening moments of their lives.

After a devastating accident, one family reached out to say thank you, not just for the care provided, but for the compassion, presence, and dignity shown in their time of need. This is the impact of showing up when it matters most.

Pictured are just a few members of our emergency department team: (Left) ED technician Hannah Pecor, Dr. Chip Esper, and PA Lauren Crowl, and (right) RN Michaele Dobson.
