Why it matters here

There is a person
beyond the procedure.

Clean Margin Music was founded by Michael Bates, a surgical trauma nurse who records as Cristofaro. Care, recovery, and the effort to keep moving are part of the life behind the music.

The operating room is one part of a much longer story. People recovering from serious injury, and the families beside them, deserve connection and support as that story continues. This page is a small way to help listeners find that support and contribute to it.

The cause / Trauma Survivors Network

Connection through recovery.

The Trauma Survivors Network is a program of the American Trauma Society. It connects people and families after serious injury through peer support, support groups, and practical recovery resources.
