Each year, Loyola University Medical Center hosts a Halloween party for the children in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), pediatric unit and burn unit who will be hospitalized during the holiday. Loyola child life specialists, medical students, nurses and a special guest princess dressed up to reverse trick-or-treat. The volunteers went door-to-door to each child’s room and deliver small toys and play games.

To celebrate Halloween, Loyola child life specialists organized games and activities for medical students to engage with children—both at the bedside and in common areas for those who are mobile. This celebration gives children a chance to enjoy the holiday fun and brings a sense of normalcy during a time that can often feel unfamiliar and overwhelming.

Thank you to our wonderful colleagues for bringing joy to our patients and their families!

Sleep-related deaths remain the leading cause of death for babies in Cook County. Loyola University Medical Center and MacNeal Hospital are Cribs for Kids® Gold Certified Hospitals. As a part of this program, both hospitals provide pack ’n plays to qualifying patients who do not have a safe place for their newborn to sleep.

Members from MacNeal’s Labor and Delivery department also attend various community events to educate parents on safe sleep practices. The team sets up a crib display to help showcase safe sleep examples for babies as well as offer educational packets for the parents and games and treats for their kids.

Thank you to our Labor and Delivery teams for continuing to educate our communities.

Congratulations to Gottlieb Memorial Hospital's DAISY Foundation award winner, Jasmine Rivera, RN. Jasmine was recognized by a patient for her empathy and compassion.

The patient said, "What stood out the most was her compassion and empathy. I was feeling scared and vulnerable, but she created a space where I felt comfortable and safe. It was not only her professional care but also her emotional support. She made this tough, scary time more bearable. I will always be grateful for the kindness she gave me."

This week, we proudly recognize the dedication and expertise of our Respiratory Care Practitioners.

At our 547-bed academic hospital, including 171 ICU beds, RCPs are essential partners in care. From managing ventilators and delivering life-saving therapies to supporting patients across all ages and settings, their impact is profound.

Whether in the ICU, bronchoscopy labs, or outpatient clinics, RCPs bring skill, compassion and stability to every patient interaction.

Please join us in thanking these incredible professionals in the comments below for the vital role they play in healing and hope.

After a rainy day spent with family, Greg Jones was driving home when his car hydroplaned and crashed into a utility pole. The impact left him unconscious and critically injured with a collapsed lung, broken ribs and severe damage to his liver, spleen, femur and pelvis.

Thanks to the expert care of orthopaedic trauma surgeon Joseph Cohen and the surgical team at Loyola Medicine, Greg was able to undergo a complex surgery to repair his femur and pelvis in a single operation.

Through months of intensive physical therapy, Greg has made an incredible recovery, and now he’s back to living the active life he loves.

We’re proud to share Greg’s journey of resilience and healing.

At Loyola Medicine, being tough means never settling. We take on the most complex cases, utilizing the latest technology and a deeply human touch.

Loyola surgeon Lucia De Gregorio, MD, says, "Tough, to me, means showing up with strength and empathy, every single day. Surgery isn’t just about precision; it’s about presence. My patients are often scared or in pain, and they need someone who can guide them through that with confidence and care. That’s why I do this. I love being able to offer solutions that not only heal, but also restore a sense of control and hope."

Loyola Medicine defines tough through the grit, compassion, and excellence our colleagues bring to work every single day, and our Cardiothoracic Procurement team is no different. This group of five extraordinary nurses carry the weight of donor calls 24 hours a shift.

Their resilience and teamwork were on full display when, in just seven days, they supported four transplants, including Loyola’s first heart-lung transplant since 2009—a milestone that speaks volumes about their skill and dedication.

Help us thank our Cardiothoracic Procurement team for their dedication to compassionate patient care in the comments below!
