WEDNESDAY/COOK COUNTY HOPSITAL VOLUNTEER PROGRAM --Hillel at Loyola--

WEDNESDAY, MARCHJ 8 - TEDDY BEARS FOR KIDS AT STROGER COOK COUNTY HOSPITAL
1:00-3:30 PM


Hillel at Loyola is once again going to Cook County Hospital over Spring
Break to bring teddy bears donated by B'nai B'rith to children patients at
the hospital as well as children waiting for appointments in the hospital
Fantus clinic as well as children in the Pediatric Emergency Room.  We
will also speak with an Emergency Room resident at the end of our visit
who will answer any questions about being a physician at the hospital.

We are meeting at the Parking Lot elevator on the ground floor at 1:00 PM.
We will leave the hospital at 3:30 PM.

Hillel at Loyola keeps returning to do this mitzvah project because our
visit is so appreciated by the children and the staff.  Not many
volunteers do special projects with the children of Cook County Hospital,
and this is really a rare opportunity to learn something about Chicago's
most diverse hospital setting.
