Last year, 31-year-old ironworker Chris suffered a catastrophic accident while working high above a construction site.
He plummeted 30 feet to the ground, sustaining life-threatening injuries, including the loss of his leg, multiple fractures and severe brain trauma. He was transported to Westchester Medical Center where he underwent life-saving surgery. Over the next month, he endured 17 surgeries on his path to recovery. Chris serves as an inspiration to everyone who knows him, continuing his determined journey toward healing with the support of his family, doctors and therapists. Your gifts can support families like Chris’ and the new Critical Care Tower that will soon rise on our campus to deliver the highest quality care to patients for generations to come.
