Today is the 40th anniversary of survival flight at the Livingston County Airport. Proud to have assisted in getting $5 million in the state budget to help them provide life saving transport for people across the state of Michigan!

Like father, like son! Senior ECMO specialist Don Igielski and his son Geof, an ECMO Technical Specialist, made history last week as the first father-son team to complete an ECMO transport. We're proud to have your family as part of our Michigan Medicine family.
