After careful consideration and in an abundance of caution, we have decided to cancel The Advocacy Town Hall, which was scheduled for today, March 12. We are taking precautions to protect the health and safety of our patients, staff and healthcare providers.

We wanted to take some time to thank our doctors, Dr. Goldberg, Dr. Gharavi and Dr. Nagra. Thank you for creating hope, saving lives and healing families! Here you can see all of our doctors working hard on Telemedicine. #NationalDoctorsDay

Regular physical activity is important for both mental and physical health. Find ways to fit movement into your day by taking walks, going for runs or looking up exercise videos online to complete in your home.

A special thank you to David Knake, son of Kimberly Knake, Executive Director of NAMI Metro Suburban and his friend, Kyle Kubina, who delivered eight dozen donuts to our staff from @Dunkin. David said they just wanted to do something to show their appreciation for our #HealthcareHeroes.

Quality Care is our passion, improving lives is our reward. Our employees are continuing to deliver high quality care. We are supporting patients during some of the most challenging times of their lives with compassion, dignity and respect.#HealthcareHeroes
