When a sudden surge of severe leg pain stopped Matt in his tracks, he never imagined it would become a medical emergency that threatened the life he loves — the work he takes pride in, volunteer roles he cherishes, and the time he spends with his family.
Thanks to the dedicated teams at Bon Secours Community Hospital, a member of WMCHealth, Matt received immediate evaluation and the urgent care he needed. Recognizing the severity of his condition, the team quickly arranged his transfer to Westchester Medical Center. There, advanced vascular specialists performed life-saving surgery that restored blood flow and gave Matt the chance to walk again.
“They made me feel like family. I’ve dedicated years to helping build these hospitals, never imagining I’d be the one needing their care. I’ll always be grateful they were here to save my legs — and my life.”
Today, Matt is back on his feet and enjoying the moments that matter most — all thanks to supporters like you who ensure exceptional care is available close to home.
