Volunteer Gives Back
St. Vincent Healthcare volunteer, Emily Davidson, suffered a severe brain injury in 2009 when she fell from her bicycle; her accident lodged a t-stake in her head, promoting an emergency HELP Flight transfer from Bozeman to St. Vincent Healthcare. In honor of National Volunteer Week, Davidson and her team of caregivers, including Dr. Blackshear M. Bryan III, St. Vincent Healthcare Physical Medicine Clinic and Chad Cady, RN, HELP Flight, share her story of recovery and why she travels to Billings from Bozeman once a week to "pay it forward."
