For nearly 30 years, Alton Hipps and his family have celebrated his wife’s birthday every Memorial Day weekend at a local campground. This past May, when a hospitalization threatened to cancel the tradition, a team of dedicated nurses from LewisGale Medical Center came together to help the family celebrate. With Alton’s extended stay in the hospital and life-threatening health issues, he and his family knew this birthday may be their last one altogether. And it was. Alton was discharged from the hospital and passed away a short time after his wife’s birthday.
Watch Alton’s story to see the family reunite with the team whose Commitment to Care made this hospital birthday celebration one to remember.
