This past weekend, current and former CIFH patients and their families came together at Brookfield Zoo for the annual Family Reunion, joined by Dr. Shaaban and the amazing CIFH team. It’s such a special reminder of the lifelong impact of the care and support provided by this extraordinary team. 🫶

💙 In honor of Lurie Children’s Week, a community-wide celebration from June 1–9 recognizing the care, courage, and commitment that define Lurie Children’s, the CSB was proud to participate in celebrating the incredible nurses and staff who make a difference every day.

On Tuesday, June 2, the Joy Cart made its way through the hospital floors, delivering snacks, treats, and a little extra appreciation to those who dedicate themselves to caring for children and families.

Thank you to all of the Lurie Children’s staff for the vital role you play in inspiring care, courage, and commitment in every child you serve. 💙✨
