At Hurley Medical Center, we often see an influx of trauma patients, especially during Flint’s summer months. When the community experiences multiple shooting incidents in quick succession (like those on July 27, 2025), our Emergency Department steps into action to manage what can best be described as 'controlled chaos.
This video highlights how our highly trained team—the triage, trauma surgeons, emergency physicians, PAs, NPs, anesthesia, and nursing staff—work together in a multidisciplinary approach to deliver rapid, life‑saving care.
We also discuss how "Code Lavender," our emotional support initiative, helps care for our staff in the aftermath of traumatic events. At Hurley, we’re committed to caring for our staff, our community, and every patient, every day."
A rash of violence in Flint is shining a light on the strain it can put on a hospital. In the early hours of Sunday, July 27, Flint Police responded to four shootings within the span of a few hours. Several of the victims were rushed to Hurley Medical Center.
