The crash and recovery of Pagliuca

Pagliuca was a patient at Northwell Health, who said that the survival of his injuries was usually low.

“Several fractures of his neck and pelvis and long bones and considerable injuries from the inside. This brings them outside of the healthcare system. This really puts them on the bottom as a father and as a person,” said Anthony Pellicone, Vice President for Security and Regulation at Northwell Health.

Pagliuca, who is lovingly known as “pags”, lives with short -term loss of memory, but says that he is immense thanks for those who helped him with his miraculous recovery.

“It is his job to be the best he could be for Bella and Riley, and so her memory will keep living,” said Keri Pagliuca.

He said he planned to visit Suny Oneonta in autumn to study sports management and hope to continue to play baseball, possibly in a club team.
