SIMSBURY, CT — Trinity Health Of New England highlighted a patient's cancer care journey and raised support for thoracic oncology services at its fifth annual Making Miracles Happen gala.

Hundreds of clinicians, employees, benefactors, local leaders and other guests attended the Oct. 3 event at The Riverview in Simsbury, according to Trinity Health Of New England.

Stanton, regional vice president of philanthropy for Trinity Health of New England, said. “Honoring this courageous patient and her care team reminds us that our efforts and support can help transform the lives of our patients, and that is incredibly important.”

Gala proceeds will support Trinity Health of New England's Thoracic Oncology Program across the region, including Connecticut and western Massachusetts.
