Health in Harmony is all about people coming together in partnership to provide patients and families with exceptional care, where and when they need it most. As a life-long South Haven resident and an employee at the Bronson Wellness Center for many years, Sarah Henry has experienced Health in Harmony in action many times. However, the care her daughter received after a traumatic burn will stay with her forever. “The care we received at Bronson Wound Center was remarkable. From the warm welcome at the front desk to the outstanding care provided by Dr. Springsteen (pediatrician) and Dr. Caudill (wound care specialist), everyone treated us with care. Their kindness, professionalism and dedication helped us through one of the most challenging experiences of our lives.” Read the full story at https://lnkd.in/eFaMjNUm. #Bronson125 #HealthInHarmony Image description: Dr. Alan Caudill helps Sarah’s daughter, Harper, put a sticker on their Graduation Tree, symbolizing the completion of her care at Bronson Wound Center in South Haven.
