A Night for Heroes with Jessica Schacht and Amy Meyer

What does it take to save one life? In this episode of What the Health Just Happened, we sit down with Jessica Schacht (Vice President of Community Engagement at Brooks Rehab) and Amy Meyer (Of Counsel at Saalfield Shad) to talk about A Night for Heroes, the long-running fundraiser supporting UF Health’s TraumaOne program, the region’s only Level 1 adult and pediatric trauma center. With the 19th gala happening on February 7 at the Sawgrass Marriott, the conversation goes beyond the event details. We unpack the real purpose behind the night, the stories that stay with you, and how community support has helped fund equipment, education, and care enhancements that directly impact patient outcomes across Northeast Florida. In this conversation, we cover: → What A Night for Heroes is and how it started nearly two decades ago → Why TraumaOne matters and what it means to have a Level 1 trauma center in our backyard → How the gala honors patients, first responders, physicians, nurses, therapists, and the full care team → Where the fundraising dollars go, including life-saving equipment and facility improvements → The impact of trauma education and prevention programs like Stop the Bleed → Why knowing hands-only CPR and basic emergency response matters for every community member → What to expect at the February 7 event, including the mission, the stories, and the celebration → Why this year marks the final gala in the current format, and what the future holds This episode is for anyone who cares about healthcare, community, and the people who show up when things go wrong.
