Shades of Autumn event raises $85K for Augusta Health emergency department renovation

Shades of Autumn, the Augusta Health Foundation’s signature event, raised more than $85,000 for Augusta Health’s Emergency Department renovation.

The 170 community leaders, physicians, employees and patients who attended the event supported the building of a new critical care area to provide advanced treatment to patients with stroke, heart attack and other traumatic injury or illness.

David Fosnocht, MD, Chair of Emergency Medicine, explained the importance of providing Emergency Department staff with the space and technology needed to diagnose and treat patients with critical injuries or other life-threatening event, and thanked those in attendance for their support.
