You’ll also hear a heartfelt story from grateful patient, Paul Dragan. Paul Dragan is a husband, a father and a business owner who nearly lost his life after being shot near his bicycle shop in 2014. He believes he is alive and recovering today because of the passion and expertise of the VGH Trauma Team, his angels he is honouring this year.
