We Stand For Care

The care patients receive at Stanford Hospital & Clinics’ Trauma Center brought them back for an annual reunion. These stories of survival include a wide range of people, a 22 year-old and an 83 year-old for example, who all stand as a testament to how Stanford Hospital made a difference in their lives.

The fourth annual trauma center reunion connects the former patients to their doctors and nurses, demonstrating ongoing teamwork. Thomas Pavelko, 59, celebrated one year of survival since a serious car accident. He remembers hearing one of the ambulance crew say they’d be taking him to Stanford—and he began to relax.

This special occassional serves as another notice of the advancement of patient care on display at Stanford Hospital. Read more about the reunion.
