Congratulations to Mark Durham, a registered home care nurse at Bronson Commons for earning the Bronson Safety Hero Award!

When Mark went to check on a patient at home something unexpected happened while preparing to give the patient a routine dressing change. The patient’s dog suddenly became loose and attacked Mark shortly before discovering the patient had an arterial bleed.

Watch the video reenactment to see how Mark helped prevent a potentially devastating outcome despite his unexpected injury.
