Surgeon Dr. Jason Pasley, who services as the trauma medical director at McLaren Oakland, was on-call on Nov. 30 and responded at a moment’s notice when the Pontiac-based hospital’s trauma center received patients from the tragic Oxford High School shooting.
Having gained experienced as an Air Force surgeon deployed to Afghanistan, Dr. Pasley pulled from his wartime training to lead the team at McLaren Oakland and effectively respond to the shooting.
For his leadership in the hospital team’s response, Dr. Pasley was recognized as ‘Physician Hero’ as part of Crain’s Detroit Business’ annual Health Care Heroes.
