Caroline Love, BSN, RN, from the Surgical Oncology unit at Endeavor Health Elmhurst Hospital was presented with the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses for her exceptional patient care. Not one, but two nomination stories from the patient and family were sent in conveying the impact that Caroline had on her patient! The patient's granddaughter wrote: "Caroline went above and beyond, not only did Caroline do the most holistic care, but she also took on the role of the advocating granddaughter. It was beyond comforting to know that someone was with my Grandma especially when I couldn't be. Thank you, Caroline, for everything. There are nurses in this world and then there's you."

For some, a physician can feel like an extension of their own family. This is the case for many of the patients of Dr. Edward Blumen, a family medicine physician with Endeavor Health. He’s been called an “institute” in downtown Evanston, which makes sense as he’s cared for people as a family medicine physician there for over 48 years. The city of Evanston has noticed and unanimously voted to name a stretch of Maple Avenue after him. The city dedicated Dr. Edward A. Blumen Way on September 20th. “I feel humble and proud to have the trust of the families that allow me to care for one of their own,” Dr. Blumen shares. “I’m also humble and proud that Evanston has named one of their very own after me.” Learn more: https://bit.ly/3XJp7tT
