🌼 Congratulations to our DAISY Award recipient, Abby Milcarek, RN!

Abby was nominated for her extraordinary compassion and calm leadership while caring for a critically ill oncology patient. She stayed by the patient’s side through an unexpected crisis, collaborated closely with the ICU team, and supported both the patient and family with empathy, clarity, and unwavering presence.

The patient even shared that Abby felt like “an angel on earth,” guiding her through a very scary time. Her professionalism, compassion, and dedication embody exactly what it means to be a Silver Cross nurse. 🌼💛 Help us congratulate Abby on this well‑deserved honor!

🎄💜 The Genens Family created Westyn’s Wish in loving memory of their son, Westyn, who was born with congenital heart defects. What began as a way to heal their own hearts has grown into a beautiful tradition of bringing light and joy to families who need it most.

For 19 years, their holiday toy drive has delivered comfort, hope, and smiles to children in local hospitals — including Silver Cross. Their generosity has blossomed into a true community effort, and they’re now welcoming volunteers to help carry Westyn’s legacy even further.
We are deeply grateful to the Genens Family for turning their love into something that continues to touch so many lives. 💜✨

A heartfelt thank‑you to Jules Madison, Crawford Supply, and the Orland Hills Police Department! 🎄✨

Your continued generosity in hosting your annual holiday toy drives for Silver Cross Hospital brings true Christmas magic to our pediatric units. Because of your kindness, we’re able to fill our halls with toys, games, and comfort items that brighten the season for our young patients — and continue lifting their spirits well into the new year.

These gifts don’t just make the holidays brighter; they create moments of joy, distraction, and reassurance for children facing medical challenges all year long. Your thoughtfulness ensures our patients feel supported, cared for, and wrapped in the warmth of community long after the decorations come down.

Thank you for helping us spread cheer, hope, and smiles when they’re needed most. 🎁💙

🎁 💜A huge thank‑you to our incredible OB Department and Central Scheduling Team for hosting toy drives this holiday season!

Your kindness reaches far beyond your daily responsibilities—it brings smiles, comfort, and joy to children and families across our hospital, from Inpatient Pediatrics and the Emergency Department to Same‑Day Surgery and Outpatient Testing.

It’s truly inspiring to see teams give back to the very place they already devote so much of their time and energy. As the saying goes, “Charity begins at home.” Your generosity is a beautiful reflection of that spirit—supporting the hospital we call home and making it an even brighter place for those we serve.

At Silver Cross Hospital, Chaplain Darla Fernandez Draus is helping patients, families, and staff navigate the grief that can feel especially heavy during the holidays.

One of the most meaningful traditions she leads is our Blue Tree in the chapel — a place where anyone can write the name of a loved one on a blue ornament and hang it on the tree in their honor. It’s a simple, beautiful way to remember those we miss while still feeling connected to them. 💙🎄

If you’re grieving this season, you’re not alone. Our chapel is open daily for quiet reflection, prayer, or a moment of peace.
