Trinity Health Of New England Hosts Making Miracles Happen Gala Benefiting Emergency Services and Mobile Healthcare

HARTFORD, Conn. -- Trinity Health Of New England is pleased to announce its second annual Making Miracles Happen gala was held Saturday, September 23, 2023 at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford, CT. With more than 700 Trinity Health Of New England colleagues, clinicians, supporters, local leaders and other guests in attendance, the evening honored and celebrated the health care heroes serving patients and communities throughout Connecticut and western Massachusetts.

U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal attended to present the beneficiaries with a congratulatory citation in honor of their service to their local communities. Keith Kountz and Laura Hutchinson, anchors of WTNH News 8’s “Good Morning Connecticut,” served as the gala emcees for the evening. Music and entertainment for the event was provided by New Your Edge and guests received a keepsake photo from TapSnap.

“We are truly blessed that we were able to gather with so many friends who love our hospitals and the compassionate care they receive at them. Hosting an event like this takes a village of sponsors, volunteers, colleagues and philanthropy team members and knowing our efforts will help transform the lives of our patients is beyond gratifying,” said, Timothy R. Stanton, Regional Vice President of Philanthropy, Trinity Health Of New England.

All proceeds benefited Trinity Health Of New England Emergency Services and Mobile Healthcare, including their four Emergency Departments located at Saint Francis Hospital in Hartford, Saint Mary's Hospital in Waterbury, Johnson Memorial Hospital in Stafford, and Mercy Medical Center in Springfield, Mass.

Each Emergency Department is staffed by board-certified physicians, high-acuity nurses, on-call specialists, and expert technicians, and is committed to providing safe, high-quality, and efficient care to their respective surrounding communities. Front line health care workers serve the community through Trinity Health Of New England’s award-winning cardiac and stroke care programs, the Level I Trauma Center at Saint Francis, the Level II Trauma Center and Pediatric Emergency Services at Saint Mary's, and Mercy Medical Center's designation as a Primary Stroke Services Hospital.

Trinity Health Of New England Mobile Healthcare extends that care outside the hospital walls with Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and their newly expanded non-emergency care services. Trinity Health Of New England Mobile Healthcare’s expanded services focus on patient education, consultation, and navigation in the areas of preventative care, chronic disease management, and post-acute follow-up care.
