P. Amodeo, M.D.,
board-certified
neurologist, by dumping a bucket of ice water over his head. Lori Trefts,
M.D., organized the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, which raised a total of
$330 for the ALS Association. Health System participants also included
Gary R. Colberg, FACHE, president & CEO, Atrac Kay, M.D., and Marion

have received an astonishing $4 million in donations compared to $1.12
million during the same time period last year as a result of the ice bucket
challenge. Contributions further The Association’s mission to find
a cure for ALS while funding the highest quality of care for people living
with the disease.
