St. Luke’s University Health Network invites the community to join it for the 10th Anniversary Celebration of “Night of Heroes,” the annual event honoring trauma survivors, their loved ones and the teams of physicians and specialists at St. Luke’s Adult Level I Trauma Center who touched their lives.
