LIFE FORCE: THE GOLDEN HOUR WINS AWARD

Congratulations to Alyssa Spirato WTVC and photographers Brent McDonald and Mikey Fuller on placing first in the Associated Press Awards for Best Serious Long News Story with their piece, "LIFE FORCE: The Golden Hour".

You may remember seeing the multi-part story last November on WTVC-TV NewsChannel 9 News. The segments showed viewers what happens when someone has a traumatic accident and LIFE FORCE transports them to Erlanger's Level One Trauma Center.
