From Crisis to Care Community Exhibit Tells Evolution of Emergency Response in Genesee County

Discover Uncover

Hosts Geoff Woodcox and Sarah Dickenson delve into the backstory of a new community gallery exhibition at Sloan Museum that will open June 25, 2024. “From Crisis to Care” is a community exhibition showcasing the evolution of Hurley Medical Center from one small institution serving Flint to its current status as a Level I trauma center with an international footprint. It also showcases the evolution of emergency response into the system we have now, from your first call to 911 to what happens in the emergency room and general treatment floors.

The exhibit was a year-long, collaborative project between Sloan Museum curatorial staff, Exhibit team members, and staff of Hurley Medical Center who generously provided artifacts and directed the story. Also partnering on the exhibit is Patriot Ambulance Service, which provided artifacts including a real ambulance.
