The Enclosed UW Health Annual Report Was Printed in Late April, Less

In Remembrance and Renewal

Darren Bean, MD The enclosed UW Health annual report was printed in late April, less than two weeks before the tragic and untimely loss of three extraordinary members of the UW Health community.

On the night of Saturday, May 10, emergency physician Darren Bean, MD, flight nurse Mark Coyne, RN, and pilot Steve Lipperer died when a UW Med Flight helicopter crashed en route home after transferring a patient to a hospital in La Crosse, Wis. Mark Coyne, RN Steve Lipperer is pictured, with other Med Flight colleagues, on the cover of this report, representing the outstanding level of care and service UW Health is known for, and the countless lives Med Flight crew members have touched and, in so many cases, saved.

To us at UW Health, this tragedy has been a profound reminder how much we depend on each other in the world of healing. We are grateful beyond words to all who have sent heartfelt expressions of condolence and tribute

Steve lipperer, Pilot to Darren, Mark and Steve. Knowing these exceptional individuals, they would expect nothing less than for us to collectively celebrate their lives and continue with unstoppable commitment to our mission of patient care and health science education.

We dedicate this report to the memory of Darren, Mark and Steve, and offer it now in the spirit of renewed dedication to the work they so ardently and compassionately pursued. UW Health Annual Report Great Moments, Great Days
