Feeling Grateful

As we reflect on what we’re thankful for this season, we want to take a moment to shine a light on the incredible team in our Special Care Nursery.

For families like Gabrielle Tudisca and Derek Brauer, who welcomed Steven Brauer at just 32 weeks, those first moments are a mix of hope, joy, and unexpected challenges. Knowing that there’s a dedicated team of compassionate professionals ready to provide specialized care for our tiniest patients is truly a blessing.

Their expertise, kindness, and unwavering commitment make all the difference—not just for the babies, but for the parents who can rest a little easier knowing their child is in the best hands possible.

To the nurses, doctors, and colleagues who go above and beyond every single day, thank you for being the heartbeat of hope for so many families.

This Thanksgiving, our healthcare heroes want to remind everyone that there’s so much to give thanks for.

Family. Friends. A safe ride home.

Before the celebration begins, make your plan:
1️⃣ Arrange a rideshare or taxi.
2️⃣ Choose a sober designated driver.
3️⃣ Stay the night if you’ve been drinking.

Because one impaired choice can change lives forever.
Let’s say Not One More to impaired driving.

CT Trauma Centers stand together to keep our roads safe this holiday. 🚗🩵
