Visit Cook County Hospital

This WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7 from 1-3:30 PM, Hillel at Loyola is again
bringing B'nai B'rith Teddy Bears for Kids to Stroger Cook County
Hospital.

The teddy bears are donated for this special project where we go onto the
Pediatric Unit and bring the bears into the patients' rooms and visit
with the children and their families.  We also go to the Fantus
Children's Clinic and to the Pediatric Emergency Room.

At the end of our visit, we will meet with Dr. Jay Mayefsky, who will
talk with us about what it is like to practice medicine at Cook County.

We are meeting at 1:00 PM on the Ground Floor of the hospital at the
Parking Lot elevator.  The Parking Lot is located at 1900 West Polk
Street, and you take the elevator to the ground floor, where we are all
meeting.

If you can join us, please email Patti Ray as soon as possible at
pray@luc.edu.  Please include your phone number.  If you want a ride,
please contact Patti Ray.  If you can drive, she will arrange a free
valet parking pass for you.

Hillel at Loyola has done this special project for the past 4 years, and
it is a wonderful opportunity to do a mitzvah for very needy children.
