Generosity of HVSH Staff Helps Lakes Area Youth Assistance

Many of the staff members at Huron Valley-Sinai Hospital adopted children through the Lakes Area Youth Assistance (LAYA) in Walled Lake. Their generosity will allow 70 kids in 33 different families in the Walled Lake School District to enjoy gifts under their Christmas trees! Kudos to the HVSH Facilities team and Volunteer Coordinator Holly Gerdom for organizing the Adopt-A-Child gift collections.
