Thanks to our partner charity Advocate Childrens Hospital for hosting our November board meeting last Thursday! Each year at the Golf Outing and Cocktail Party, a portion of the proceeds go directly to Advocate. We were able to walk around the facilities and see the amazing doctors and nurses caring for patients that recently underwent heart surgeries. Our hearts became so much bigger after seeing the great things being done at the Childrens Hospital.

Because of the successful support we received at last years Cocktail Event, the Pediatric Cardiovascular Services at Advocate was able to purchase a Philips Intellivue X2 Multi-Measurement Transport Monitor. This is used to monitor a childs heart function (blood pressure, heart rhythm, oxygen saturation, etc.) after they have undergone a Cardiac Carth procedure. This monitor enables to Resident Nurses to closely track how the child is doing post procedure. Just this past October, they opened the new Cardiac Neurodevelopmental Program to care for children who have cognitive/pscho-social issues related to their cardiovascular defect, which is a huge advancement to helping the lives of little ones. Thank you for providing the most exceptional care for children Advocate, we are so happy to be a contributing organization!
