Today, the Adult & Pediatric Trauma Programs proudly hosted our 1st Inaugural Trauma Survivors Day at Albany Medical Center. 🌷
The day began with a bake sale fundraiser supporting our Trauma Survivors Network (TSN) Program, helping us continue to provide support, resources, and encouragement to trauma patients and their families long after they leave the hospital.
We then gathered for a special ceremony honoring several of our returning trauma survivors and their families. Seeing our survivors walk back through our doors — stronger, smiling, and continuing their recovery journeys — was a powerful reminder of why this work matters so deeply.
To close the day, survivors, families, staff, and supporters joined together for our Trauma Survivors Walk around the hospital grounds. Along the route were lawn signs beautifully decorated by units and departments throughout the hospital, each filled with messages of hope, encouragement, and support.
Thank you to everyone who baked, donated, attended, created signs, walked with us, and helped make this day so meaningful. Trauma Survivors Day is not only about honoring our patients and families — it is also about recognizing the incredible healthcare teams who help guide them through some of the hardest moments of their lives.
THANK YOU to Alana, Samuel, Ann and Jasmine- our returning trauma survivors. You’re all superheroes.
Hearing your stories touched so many of us today.
We are already excited to begin planning for next year and continuing to grow this special event for our survivors, families, staff, and community. 💙✨
From both the Adult and Pediatric Trauma Programs,
THANK YOU!
