UW Hospital and Clinics electricians supervisor Jeff Gertgen knows what it’s like to spend time in a hospital with a child. His 18-year-old daughter suffered seizures when she was younger, so he knows what families go through.
In his own style, Gertgen tried to think of ways to help fund the new American Family Children’s Hospital being built next to the University of Wisconsin Hospital. And when he and his colleague Terry Frink brainstormed the matter, they came up with a pretty penny for the Children’s Hospital.
