“I didn’t think twice about it, I just did it,” recalls Amy Andrews, an acute care nurse practitioner at our West Bloomfield hospital who was recently presented with a civilian award from the Troy Fire Chief at Troy Fire Station No. 2. On her way home from a birthday party with her daughter, Amy encountered the aftermath of a severe car accident. Without hesitation, she assessed the situation and ran to help. One man was trapped in a vehicle with non-life-threatening injuries and later removed using the jaws of life. In another vehicle, Amy found a woman with a severed arm who was losing consciousness from arterial bleeding. Using a belt from a bystander, Amy applied a tourniquet, stabilizing the woman until first responders arrived. Thanks to Amy's quick thinking and bravery, the woman survived.

Sparks flew at last weekend's Living Donor Awareness Night where transplant recipient Lynnette Rodriguez, 64, met her living liver donor Ashley Podhola, 38, for the very first time. "She's my angel but also my hero too," said Lynnette. "She gave me life." The event in partnership with the Living Liver Foundation at Jimmy John's Field honored our living donors and hopefully inspired others like Ashley to donate. "It's hard to put into words but when I heard about [living donation] I knew I wanted to do it," shared Ashley. "Helping to save a life...you don't get that chance very often."

Zero fossil fuels or emissions by 2050. ⚡ That's the promise our new Central Energy Hub will help us realize to make our major Detroit flagship hospital expansion one of the largest fully electric-capable hospital facilities in the country. “As a health system, we plan to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent by 2030 and achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050,” said Robin Damschroder, our executive vice president, chief financial and business development officer. “What will be happening inside the Central Energy Hub is a meaningful example of how we are making our sustainability pledges a reality.” The Central Energy Hub will feature a hot and chilled water pump system that will provide electric heating and cooling to the Destination: Grand hospital facilities — the new patient tower, shared services building and parking deck— making it possible to limit, and eventually fully avoid, natural gas usage in those facilities. The 4-story, 30,000-square-foot Central Energy Hub will feature cutting-edge technology, such as being designed for full electrification, waste heat recovery and digital energy management. Beautifully designed with the community in mind, the building will integrate seamlessly into the new campus on the southwest corner of the Destination: Grand development site on W. Grand Blvd.
