Support Chill Out for Winter Safety Chill Out for Winter Safety was developed following the passing of a vibrant young girl named Carly. Carly was eight years old when she lost her life in a tragic sledding accident. Carly's mom and Munson Healthcare team member, Tammie Budrow, created the Chill Out program to help protect other families from suffering the same tragedy. Through this program, Tammie and Munson Healthcare experts visit schools and ski and sledding hills across the region to provide important winter safety and helmet education, as well as helmet fittings and free helmets.

Emerging from Grief: Gretchen's Story My husband, Tom, was a strong supporter and always encouraged me in my artistic endeavors. I was Tom’s caregiver through the last four difficult years during which he contracted and was diagnosed with many illnesses including dementia, heart disease, and myasthenia gravis.
