Today we celebrated Trauma Survivors Day - an opportunity to recognize the incredible achievements accomplished and challenges overcome by survivors following a traumatic accident. Thank you to our former patients who shared their stories of strength, team members who highlighted the impact our Level I trauma program has in the community, and the many other individuals who came to show their support - trauma survivorship is a long road with many paths, and we're honored to be part of the journey. North - Robbinsdale Hospital is a center for the Trauma Survivors Network, an organization dedicated to supporting patients and families long after they leave our hospital doors.

As we celebrate EMS Week, we’re sharing the story of a team member who truly lives out North’s values every day - creating impact during a recent call. While responding to a medical need, North paramedic Matt noticed something else - a man stranded and unsafe due to a broken wheelchair ramp. After his shift ended, Matt came back with tools, supplies, and a few helping hands and together, they rebuilt the ramp - restoring safety, independence, and dignity. What started as a simple act of kindness became something much greater - and Matt’s compassion didn’t go unnoticed. He was recently honored with both our own North Star Award and a Minnesota EMS State Award for going above and beyond the call of duty. Matt and friends plan to continue this work by building a bigger ramp in the next few months. Thank you, Matt, for showing what it means to lead with heart. ❤️ #EMSWeek (fb)
