Dr. James Bailey, a cardiothoracic surgeon at Bellin Hospital, made a very generous gift to students in West High School's Bridges Construction & Renovation program on April 11, 2025.

Dr. Bailey catered lunch for the students from Mission BBQ and gave new Milwaukee Tool Sawzall® reciprocating saw and a hammer drill and impact driver combo set to the seniors and t-shirts to the juniors in the program. 

Earlier this year, Dr. Bailey donated new tool chests to seniors in East High School’s City Stadium Automotive program.

Dr. Bailey graduated from Westwood High School located in Michigan, where he had participated in their automotive program. He shared that the automotive program was an important experience for him and said he wanted to give back to the community.

"I felt that doing something like this would be really helpful for them and help set them off on a good career path...this is something I knew that if I was in their position, I would be really excited to get and I wanted to do the same thing for them," Dr. Bailey said.
