Stories from our VIPs
What would you do if you were faced with a 2 week prognosis? Our VIP Mr Michael chose to surround himself with his family, go fishing, and cap off the day with a cold one.
Mr. Michael was nominated by the Critical Care Team at Our Lady of the Lake. His trip was made possible by Captain Matt McCabe, who ran a trip for us on very short notice.
