National Trauma Survivors Day is held every year on the third Wednesday in May, honoring the spirit and strength of trauma survivors. As a proud member of the Trauma Survivors Network, Saint Luke’s Hospital is proud to recognize these patients.

One family from Topeka attended this year's event, filled with gratitude for the life-saving work of the Saint Luke's trauma team.

KSHB spoke to the family and Dr. Alyssa Fesmire, a trauma surgeon at Saint Luke’s about the importance and meaning of the annual event for patients and their loved ones.
