Tracheostomy saves UM Health-Sparrow patient's life

Meet Michael Hardwick and hear his incredible story about how our team of highly skilled team members at UM Health-Sparrow used a tracheostomy to save his life.

A tracheostomy is a procedure, often done in an emergency situation, that creates an opening in the neck to help patients breathe when the normal airway is blocked or impaired.

At UM Health-Sparrow, our patients benefit from leading-edge tracheostomy care and expertise—close to home. To find out more, visit UofMHealthSparrow.org/PulmonaryMedicine.
