Did you hear the news? 👀 The MWD team is excited to share this update from Lurie Children’s below.
-----------------------------
We are thrilled to announce our beginning plans to develop a low-acuity pediatric hospital in the Downers Grove area — an important step in expanding access to world-class pediatric care for families in Chicago’s western suburbs!

For the Socha family, who live in the western suburbs of Chicago, having access to expert pediatric care closer to home means everything. Treated for a rare genetic disease since birth, Gabe and Gwen have traveled more than 100 miles every other week to Lurie Children’s for life-saving infusions. It means early mornings, long hours in traffic and disruption to their day-to-day routines. Their mom, Bonnie, says, “It’s exhausting. But as a parent, you do anything for your kids. And we do it because we know that when we walk into Lurie Children’s, our kids are in the hands of people who truly care about them.”

Without access to this level of specialized care, Gwen and Gabe “simply wouldn’t be here living the full, amazing lives they deserve. Having a Lurie Children’s closer to home means fewer long days on the road, less strain on our kids’ bodies, and more time being a family instead of traveling for care,” says Bonnie.

Stay tuned for further updates on the timing and exact location of the new facility.
