Calling all Kingston community members, music lovers, and health-care supporters!
Rock out on June 20, 2026, all while supporting KHSC at the 2nd annual Banding Together with YGK Healthcare Champions concert featuring the band Old Docs New Tricks performing covers of rock music hits at The Broom Factory in downtown Kingston.
Help Improve ICU safety conditions for patients!
This year, the YGK Healthcare Champions are supporting Dr. Michael Taylor and Tom Fisher of KHSC in their innovative mission to bring Cuffguards to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at KHSC. Cuffguard is an automated device designed to improve safety for patients who require a breathing machine by continually adjusting the pressure in patient's endotracheal tube cuff—an essential component that protects the lungs from harmful bacteria.
