HURLEY FACTS: 1980
In March 1980, the Hurley cardiology team became the first in the region to successfully implant a new “intelligent” heart pacemaker, marking a significant advancement in cardiac care. The device, placed in a 78-year-old patient with a severe heart condition, was designed to function effectively for eight to twelve years. It generated a more natural heartbeat, offering enhanced performance and expanded technical capabilities.
While pacemakers had been in use since the 1950s, earlier models offered limited control over heart rhythm regulation. As Hurley’s cardiology services continued to grow in prominence, the new fourthfloor Coronary Care Unit (CCU) was outfitted with advanced technology comparable to that of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), including telemetry systems for continuous heart monitoring.

Hurley Healthy Living Seminar –“Lasting Weight Loss Options”
The Hurley Comprehensive Weight Loss Center hosted a free, in-person Healthy Living seminar focused on “Lasting Weight Loss Options” on Wednesday, September 24. The event was designed to educate individuals on the full continuum of weight loss treatments—from non-surgical interventions to advanced bariatric surgery.
Attendees heard directly from Hurley’s team of specialists, Kristoffer Wong, DO; Jennifer Demerly, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Certified Specialist in Obesity and Weight Management and Myckayla Myers, Registered Dietitian who shared insights into evidence-based medical weight loss programs. A key topic was the use of GLP-1 medications, which have proven highly effective in helping many patients achieve and maintain weight loss without surgery.
The seminar also explored several surgical options, including sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass and the innovative SADI-S procedure (Single Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileal Switch). Highlighted as a powerful surgical tool, SADI-S combines aspects of sleeve gastrectomy with intestinal bypass, resulting in reduced stomach size and decreased calorie
absorption. This one-anastomosis approach is less complex than a traditional duodenal switch, yet offers comparable results in weight reduction and metabolic health.
Throughout the seminar, presenters outlined eligibility criteria, expected outcomes and recovery timelines for each treatment pathway. This information empowered attendees to consider which option best aligns with their personal health needs, lifestyle and long-term goals.
Ready to Take the Next Step?
Whether you are just beginning to explore your options or are ready to commit to a treatment plan, the Hurley Comprehensive Weight Loss Center offers expert guidance and compassionate care tailored to you.

Hurley’s Dr. Marc Moisi Elected President of the Michigan Association of Neurosurgeons
Hurley is proud to announce that Dr. Marc Moisi, Director of Neurosurgery, has been elected President of the Michigan Association of Neurosurgeons (MANS). In this new role, Dr. Moisi will lead the statewide neurosurgical society for a two-year term, helping to advance neurosurgical care and encourage collaboration across hospitals and institutions throughout Michigan.
Dr. Moisi has been actively involved with MANS since 2021, when he joined the Board of Directors. Over the past four years, he has served in multiple leadership roles including Member at Large, Secretary/Treasurer, and Vice President. His election as President on August 12 highlights both his dedication to neurosurgery and the high regard he holds among peers statewide.
Since 2021, Dr. Moisi has served as Director of Neurosurgery at Hurley. Working alongside neurosurgeon Dr. Christian Bowers, he provides patients with access to a broad spectrum of advanced surgical treatments through the Hurley Neurological Center.
Their services include:
• Minimally invasive and complex spine procedures
• Neuro trauma care
• Neuro-oncology surgery
• Advanced cranial procedures
• Comprehensive management of neurological emergencies
In addition, Dr. Moisi plays an essential role in Hurley’s Level I Trauma Center, ensuring that patients throughout the region receive timely, world-class neurosurgical care in critical situations.
“We are incredibly proud of Dr. Moisi’s leadership both here at Hurley and now across the state as President of MANS,” said John Stewart, Service Line Administrator. “His commitment to advancing neurosurgery, expanding patient access and mentoring future surgeons will benefit patients not only here at Hurley but throughout Michigan.”
“We are incredibly proud of Dr. Moisi’s leadership both here at Hurley and now across the state as President of MANS,” – John Stewart, Service Line Administrator
As President of MANS, Dr. Moisi plans to focus on strengthening collaboration among Michigan’s hospitals and neurosurgeons, expanding access to cutting-edge procedures, and supporting the growth of the society as a leader in neurosurgical care and education.

Longevity At Hurley: The Why Behind Staying
Celebrating an Employee’s Dedication:
Alison Price, Health
Unit Coordinator
“I’ll
proudly wear my Hurley shirts and jackets even after I retire. I consider myself fortunate to be part of such a respected and community-rooted institution.”
– Alison Price, Health Unit Coordinator
Alison has been a dedicated member of the Hurley family for an incredible 32 years, evolving from a Certified Nursing Assistant to her current role as Health Unit Coordinator on the 1East postpartum unit. Her story is one of commitment, growth and deep connection to both her colleagues, the patients and the families she serves.
From Humble Beginnings to a Dream Role
Alison’s journey in healthcare began shortly after graduating from Northern High School. She earned her Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) certification through the Urban League of Flint and began her career at Heritage Manor. As a Flint native, joining Hurley felt like a natural next step. Despite being pregnant and uncertain about her chances, she was hired to join the birthing center team—a milestone that was both professionally significant and personally meaningful, as she later gave birth to her son in the very hospital where she worked.
“I had my son in Room 126, which was then called the VIP Suite. My coworkers even surprised me
with a baby shower. That was truly awesome,” Alison recalls fondly.
Growing Within Hurley
Over the years, Alison worked diligently, growing within the department and setting her sights on the Health Unit Coordinator position on her unit—a goal she prayed would become available. When the opportunity arose, despite nerves about interviewing, she secured the role and embraced the new challenges it brought.
“Hurley helped me grow. I’ve learned the ins and outs of the unit, and I know this is exactly where I’m meant to be,” she says.
A Work Culture like No Other
For Alison, Hurley’s culture and employee benefits have played a major role in her decades-long commitment. “Back then, Hurley and General Motors were the ultimate places to work in Flint,” she recalls. “The retirement plan is excellent, and the overall benefits show just how much the organization values its employees.”
One of Alison’s fondest memories is the annual 1603 Union Christmas parties, organized under past 1603 president, Joe Abraham, and vice president, Delores Lotts. “Those were the events of the season,” she says with a smile. These festive celebrations created lasting memories—moments she continues to cherish to this day.
The Power of People and Perseverance
Alison’s greatest joy comes from the people she works with as well as those she serves. She admires the colleagues and leaders who have guided her, as well as the patients and families who have touched her heart. “Through all the changes—different roles, ups and downs—I’ve remained loyal to my department. I’ve always been that steadfast employee,” Alison reflects. She offers this advice to new team members: “Always be respectful—especially to management and to your elders in general,” and she encourages them not to let fear hold them back. “Embrace change with courage,” she adds. “It’s all part of growth.”
A Legacy of Care and Fulfillment
“It feels like a part of me has to stay here,” she admits, though she knows she can’t stay forever. Her commitment to the hospital, her coworkers and the community runs deep.
One of Alison’s favorite campaigns is the Children’s Miracle Network’s Popcorn Thursdays— an event she eagerly anticipates and recognizes is a way to support the hospital’s youngest patients.
Alison’s story is a testament to dedication, resilience and the power of community. After more than three decades, her smile and steadfast spirit continue to brighten Hurley’s halls and inspire those around her.
Hurley is looking for passionate individuals committed to patient-centered care. If you share our values of compassion, understanding and respect, complete an online profile and explore joining our team.

This month’s DAISY Award honoree is Jacqueline Sabo, RN — a nurse whose extraordinary compassion and dedication made a lasting impact on one grateful patient and his wife. Jim was recently hospitalized at Hurley with COVID-19, spending five nights on the 5th floor. During this challenging and emotional time, he and his wife found strength and comfort in Jacqueline’s care.
“The first time Jacqueline came into the room, I could sense she was special — and that certainly proved true in the days that followed,” wrote Jim’s wife. “Her kindness, compassion, excellent nursing skills, and availability to talk with us made a difficult time much easier. We are forever grateful to her and hope she is recognized for the outstanding care she provides.”
For Jacqueline, the feeling was mutual. She remembered the couple clearly — a long-married pair, both admitted with COVID, caring deeply for each other even through exhaustion and uncertainty.
“You don’t forget patients like that,” she said. “They were just such kind people. It’s nice when you can be there for someone during such a hard time.” Jacqueline truly exemplifies what the DAISY Award represents: compassionate, skilled and heartfelt nursing care. Hurley is proud to recognize her.
A Journey Rooted in Compassion
Jacqueline’s path to nursing was inspired by personal experience. At just six years old, her father was diagnosed with cancer. Much of her childhood was spent in hospital waiting rooms, including long stays in Ann Arbor and at St. Luke’s.
“That was my exposure to healthcare — living in it,” she recalled. While she initially explored dental work, she realized her heart was truly in nursing.
Her nursing journey began at Mott Community College, where she completed her clinicals — including psychiatric rotations at Hurley. She went on to work at McLaren, rotating through the ICU and CCU before becoming a travel nurse during the COVID-19 pandemic. Assignments took her as far as California.
“It was beautiful — and intense,” she said of her travel nursing experience. “You’d get one day of hospital orientation, and then one day on the floor with a nurse. Then you’re on your own.”
Jacqueline Sabo, RN
Nominate an exceptional RN for the DAISY Award. Nomination forms are available in the Cafeteria, 8W Nursing Office and on the Hurley intranet.
Ultimately, she returned home to Michigan, settling in Flushing, where she now lives near her niece, who also works as a nurse at Hurley on 5 West.
Finding Her Home on 5 West
Jacqueline joined Hurley in 2023, initially through an agency before deciding to stay permanently. She currently works on 5 West, a fast-paced unit with PCU-level patients, managing 12 patients with a team of four nurses.
“It’s busy, but we have a great team,” she said. “Everyone gets along well. We support each other — it makes all the difference.”
Despite the challenges, such as when staff are on vacations or high-acuity cases, Jacqueline values the strength of her unit and the camaraderie that keeps them going.
"I’ve thought about going back to California — it’s such a beautiful place — but this unit is incredible. It’s hard to leave when you’re part of a team that works so well together. Honestly, it’s the best group I’ve ever been a part of."
Outside the Hospital
When she’s not at work, Jacqueline enjoys staying active—taking Pilate’s classes, hiking and spending time outdoors. She loves animals and traveling, always eager for her next adventure. She’s also a proud mother to her 25-year-old son and family remains a deeply important part of her life.
Despite her deep compassion and clear dedication, Jacqueline is modest about recognition. “This is just what I do,” she says. “My heart is in it.”

Honoring Our Babies: Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance at Hurley
Flint, Michigan continues to face some of the highest infant mortality rates in the state, a heartbreaking statistic that reflects not just numbers, but countless families grieving the loss of their babies.
At Hurley, a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), these losses are not just statistics—they are deeply felt. Each experience of loss—whether through miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS, or newborn complications—is unique and deeply personal. But for the staff at Hurley, every loss is met with compassion, dignity and the unwavering commitment to support grieving families.
Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day: A Time to Reflect and Remember
Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day
is observed annually on October 15, serving as a time to raise awareness and offer support to families who have experienced the unimaginable. This national day of remembrance was formally recognized in 2006 by the U.S. House of Representatives and follows President Ronald Reagan’s 1988 proclamation of October as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month.
This day gives families a space to grieve openly, to remember their babies, and to break the silence that too often surrounds pregnancy and infant loss.
Wave of Light: Lighting the Darkness with Love
At 7:00 PM on October 15, families and supporters around the world participate in the Wave of Light, lighting candles in their homes to create a continuous, global tribute to the lives lost too
Danielle Smith, Alexandria Miller, Sara Ivory, Amy Henderson, Kalea Phillips (Dove), Hanna Favara
soon. This symbolic act brings grieving parents together in spirit, creating a shared space for healing, memory, and love.
Hurley’s Commitment: Supporting Families through Loss
The impact of a baby’s loss is immeasurable—and so is the effort it takes to provide meaningful, compassionate care. Under the leadership of Amy Henderson, RN, Hurley has built a dedicated Perinatal Bereavement Committee that works behind the scenes to ensure that no family walks through this grief alone.
The team includes:
• Amy Henderson, RN, Labor & Delivery
• Danielle Smith, RN, NICU
• Hanna Favara, RN, BSN, Labor & Delivery
• Kalea Phillips, RN, BSN, Labor & Delivery
• Alexandria Miller, RN, NICU
This team ensures that families facing loss are offered more than medical care—they are offered compassion, memory-making, and space to grieve.
How Hurley Supports Families
At Hurley, every family experiencing loss is given the opportunity to create memories and honor their baby in their own way.
Private Rooms and Time for Goodbyes
Families are given private rooms, where they can spend time with their baby and say goodbye at their own pace. Hurley offers cooling cradles — donated by community members — that allows parents to remain by their baby’s side for as long as they need.
L&D nurses gently and lovingly dress each baby in special clothing, especially when families choose to have a photo taken—a lasting and tangible memory to hold onto. When the family feels ready, the funeral home is contacted, and the baby is carefully placed in a beautiful, dignified container, honoring their life with tenderness and respect.
Keepsakes and Memory Boxes
In the tender moments following loss, each family is provided with a personalized memory box — a heartfelt gift to honor their baby’s life and legacy. These boxes are often created in collaboration with compassionate partners, such as Detroit Metro Share, and are thoughtfully prepared to reflect the unique journey of each family.
A memory box may include:
• Photos
• A special outfit or blanket
• A journal for processing grief
• A book, such as This Little While
• A heartbeat recording in a stuffed teddy bear
• Resources for grief support for all those who may need it, including fathers, siblings, grandparents
Even in the midst of sorrow, these keepsakes become treasured tokens of love and memory. Each memory box is thoughtfully and individually prepared to reflect the unique needs and story of each family.
Remembering
a Loss:
A Turning Point in Care
“I believe the bereavement committee was born out of a pivotal moment in Hurley’s care—a patient delivered premature twins and tragically lost one. That heartbreaking experience became the catalyst for meaningful change. It inspired the formation of a team dedicated to supporting families through profound grief. From that moment, we began creating spaces for memorymaking, offering photography and keepsakes, and eventually hosting our annual community remembrance event. Because of her story, future families now walk the path of loss surrounded not only by care, compassion, and support—but also by thoughtful, loving touches.”
—
Amy Henderson, RN, Labor & Delivery
Staff Support: Caring for the Caregivers
Hurley understands that caring for families through loss also deeply affects the caregivers. Through initiatives like Code Lavender, staff are offered immediate emotional and spiritual support during or after traumatic events. In
addition, supportive handouts and resources are available to help them process and cope. Every Labor & Delivery nurse at Hurley is trained in bereavement care, ensuring that compassionate, consistent support extends not only to the families—but to the staff who walk alongside them.
Why It Matters
Pregnancy and infant loss can often feel isolating and unseen. At Hurley, every effort—both large and small—is focused on changing that reality. By honoring each loss and supporting every family with compassion and care, Hurley offers a consistent and heartfelt response to some of life’s most painful moments.
We offer our sincere gratitude to the dedicated members of the Bereavement Committee and to all team members who approach these difficult moments with compassion and commitment— your efforts make this meaningful support possible!
Looking Ahead: Hurley’s Memorial Event Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day
Wednesday, October 15, 2025
We invite you to gather with us in remembrance of the precious babies whose lives ended far too soon. Though their time with us was brief, their impact is lasting—and their memory will be cherished forever. As we often say, “No footprint is too small to leave an imprint on this world.”
This special evening is a time for healing, reflection, and unity. Families, friends, and staff come together to honor the babies we've lost and support one another through shared remembrance. The evening will include:
• Dinner and refreshments
• A time of prayer and reflection
• A peaceful, battery-operated candle lighting ceremony
Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day
• An opportunity for families to speak their baby’s name or share a story
Whether you come to speak, to listen or simply to sit in quiet remembrance, your presence matters. Together, we honor love, loss, and the little lives that forever changed ours.

“NOT IN THE HOUSE!!”
by PS1. September 2025
How many times did you hear that, growing up? No horseplay in the house. No rollerblades in the house. And you are absolutely crazy, if you think you are coming in the house with those muddy shoes! Well, this building is our house. Hurley is the place where we spend more time than anywhere else. W hy wouldn’t we want to be able to tell ever yone who comes here, “Not in this house”?
In the near future, the main entrance and lobby of Hurley Medical Center may look just a bit different from what you are used to. But trust us, the changes are a much needed addition to our security and safety program at the hospital.
Tentatively scheduled for early fall, the main entrance and lobby of the Medical Center will be the site for our new weapons screening system for the complex. This weapons screening technolog y is much less obtuse and institutional in appearance than what you may be used to at the Emergency Department. CEIA OpenGate allows for a hig h throug hput of patients, visitors and staff, without the need to divest bags and belong ings. This technolog y is successfully deployed and utilized at many different professional venues where hig h foot traffic is a concern. Institutions such as Disney, NFL, U of M Stadium, and multitudes of schools and educational institutions around the countr y.
In addition to weapon screening for the main entrance, traditional weapons screening will also be operationalized at the Clinic Entrance. Because… W hy would you lock the front door, but leave the back door off the hinges??
This great improvement in the overall safety and security of Hurley is one that we know will help to provide an elevated sense of safety among our staff, patients and families.
