“God sent me to the Cook County Trauma Center to Dr. Dennis and the surgical team, whom not only with professionalism, but dedication to saving lives, was able to reverse my life-threatening condition. I am forever thankful to you all. I am well because of your efforts to give me an extension and preserve my life. I have been able to return to work, function normally, and contribute to my loved ones who love me just as much as I love them. Thanks Cook County Trauma. ”
