Resident vs Faculty Kickball

It’s residents vs. faculty as our surgeons and their families put their athletic abilities to the test in a game of kickball, followed by a BBQ and water games for the little ones. Our annual match serves as a great opportunity for staff members and their families to come together outside of the hospital.  The winning team receives bragging rights for a full year!
