Damar stopped by UCMC earlier today to visit with staff, patients and a portion of the care team that supported him throughout his recovery. Keep changing the world! 🫶
Per the physicians at UCMC, Damar’s breathing tube was removed overnight. He continues to progress remarkably in his recovery.
His neurologic function remains intact and he has been able to talk to his family and care team.
This was just a fraction of Damar’s care team.
As the region’s only adult Level 1 trauma center, these teams deliver life-saving and relentless care each and every day. Join us in celebrating all of our heroes and all that they do.
