Momentum express 2014 Associate Giving Campaign kicks-off this month!

As a not-for-profit organization, Advocate Health Care relies on

charitable contributions to extend access to care, enhance the patient

experience, foster innovation and improve health care outcomes. Some

of our most generous donors are our own associates and physicians.

The annual Associate Giving Campaign (AGC) is our chance to make a

difference for both our patients and fellow associates by supporting the

programs that mean the most to us through charitable contributions.

And once again this year, the Associate Giving Campaign is your single

convenient way to support Advocate’s own programs and our

community partner organizations.

Please join us in this worthwhile effort. Gifts can be made specifically

to many programs throughout the hospital, click here to view the full list,

and donations can be made online at the Charitable Foundation page.

Department managers are also handing out campaign enrollment forms,

or they can be obtained from a member of your development office. For

more information, call 21.2327 to talk to a member of your development

team.

Chicago Bears win big at

Advocate Children's Hospital

Chicago Bears chairman George

McCaskey, team mascot Staley, and

head coach Marc Trestman along

with wife, Cindy, and daughter,

Chloe made a special visit to

Advocate Children’s Hospital in

Park Ridge on May 28, 2014.

During their warm and exciting visit, the group put smiles on

the faces of many patients and even a few staff members.

They took the time to make individual stops at nearly 50

patient rooms within General Pediatric including, oncology,

pediatric intensive care unit and adolescent psychology.

McCaskey & company distributed teddy bears,

appropriately dressed in Chicago Bears attire and gave out

autographed flags, hats and other Bears’ memorabilia to

some of our bigger kids and their families.

“Having such a special visit from Chicago

Bears owner George McCaskey along with coach Marc Trestman

and his wonderful family was such a sensational

experience for our patients and

their families. Even with hospitalizations that

are filled with procedures, tests and

medication, these moments are what our children and families

often remember most. We cannot thank the

Bears enough for their kindness and gift of time! Go Bears! “

Specialist at Advocate Children’s Hospital

AMERICAN

HEART

ASSOCIATION

AWARD

Congratulations to all of our

physicians and staff caring

for heart attack

patients across Advocate

Lutheran General

Hospital. We have

achieved the American

Heart Association’s

Mission: Lifeline®

Receiving Center-GOLD

Level Recognition Award.

It recognizes the

exceptional job we have

done over the past two years

to consistently meet high

standards for the treatment

of acute heart attack

patients. Special thanks to

the Emergency Department,

Cath Lab and all those on

inpatient units who are

caring for these patients.

When Liz, a huge Blackhawks fan, painted the team’s feathers and signature

tomahawk C on her shoes, she had no idea the frenzy she was about to create. Within

weeks, she was receiving requests from all over the country. Rather than sell these

shoes to line her pockets, this 15 year old paints the shoes in her free time (which is

very limited) and donates a portion of the proceeds to the The Ross K. MacNeill

Foundation to support pediatric brain cancer research and the Bryan & Amanda

Bickell Foundation for Pit Bull awareness. She also has painted shoes for kids who are

cancer survivors at no charge and donates shoes to be auctioned at fundraising events.

One pair of Liz’s hand-painted shoes was recently present-

ed to an avid Hawks fan and Advocate Children’s Hospital

patient named Haley. Liz donated a second pair for a fund-

raising event for Team Haley and held an ebay auction with

a third pair to raise money and awareness for Team Haley.

The custom painted pair of Blackhawks high top sneakers

were sold to the highest bidder for an incredible $350.

Liz’s mother Lynne stated, “Meeting Haley … strengthened our commitment to do all

we could to raise awareness and money to get to the end game--finding a cure and

working on better treatments for kids.”

You can support Team Haley by clicking this link to visit her Facebook page.
