The Gift of Better Outcomes
Your support helped give the Gift of Better outcomes to Barbara Herman, who had a hemorrhagic stroke. She was treated while on the way to the hospital by Northwestern Medicine’s state-of-the-art Mobile Stroke Unit, a specialized ambulance equipped with a CT scanner, telemedicine connections and stroke-specific medications. Because of this, she was able to get lifesaving treatment 30 minutes faster than she would have with traditional transport and is now making steady progress toward recovery.
This year, Barbara saw her grandson graduate and will get to spend the holidays with her family because of generous support from donors like you.

Better Care
The Gift of Better Care
For the 10th consecutive year, Northwestern Memorial Hospital was the highest-ranked hospital in Illinois and is recognized among the top hospitals in the country, ranking No. 10 nationally on the prestigious U.S. News & World Report “America’s Best Hospitals” Honor Roll, 2021 – 2022.

Better Outcomes
The Gift of Better Outcomes
Your support helped give the Gift of Better treatment to Craig Warner when he was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. After meeting with doctors at Northwestern Medicine Lake Forest Hospital, Craig was treated in the OncoSET Precision Medicine Program, which combines genomic sequencing and molecular analysis with standard pathology to identify precisely tailored treatments and clinical trials for patients whose cancers are resistant to traditional therapies.
Because of this innovative treatment option, Craig was able to walk his daughter down the aisle at her wedding. It is because of support from donors like you that he is now cancer free.
