Meet the Staff at ECMC
We want to thank all the medical personnel and first responders that are working to make Western New York safe right now fighting the coronavirus pandemic.
That includes everyone who may not be treating COVID-19 patients, but are still working every day to keep Western New Yorkers safe and healthy, treating any illness or injury that might still occur outside of the virus.
We'd like to allow some of the staff at ECMC, WNY's only Level 1 Trauma Center, to introduce themselves to you. These are leaders at a hospital that provides dozens of services, all designed to keep the people of our community safe and healthy. Click on their names to hear from them directly.
