Saying thanks to the Trauma Team

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania — Rebecca Levenberg recognized her former hospital room immediately.

Fourteen years ago, a resident of Philadelphia was involved in a biking accident where she was hit by a car. Philadelphia Fire and Rescue promptly transported her to the trauma unit at Jefferson.

“I was really fortunate to fall into the hands of the most caring and compassionate and skillful team that I’ve ever met,” she says.

She recognized the floor, but didn’t remember the number.

“That’s the one aspect of my time at Jefferson that remains a blur. Their support for me and my family was unwavering and extended for a considerable duration. I faced numerous complications, yet they cared for me as though I were one of their own. Today, I walked through the fourth floor and discovered the room I had stayed in all those years back.”

Following her initial incident, she underwent multiple hospitalizations. Each time, Jefferson Health’s dedicated nurses, doctors, and staff tirelessly committed to her treatment and care.

Today, she can share a smile and a story with the people who treated her in that very room.

“I can’t express how grateful I am for not only my life but for all their support along the way. I don’t think that I would be the same person I am today without that support.”

In collaboration with the Trauma Survivors Network, Jefferson Health united former patients and the teams who treated them together for a day of sharing stories and giving thanks.

It’s all part of Trauma Survivor’s Day. It was a chance to reflect on those critical hours spent on the trauma ward, with their lives in the hands of these skilled and hard-working and life-saving men and women.

The hospital also hosted a survivor’s prevention fair. The events included water and firework safety classes, art therapy, seminars and a chance to connect.
