Providing compassionate care and expertise to children in need
Hope is a children's specialty hospital that combines extraordinary medical expertise with a child-centered environment. Staffed by more than 140 pediatricians representing more than 30 specialties, Hope is a premier provider of health care for children throughout the Midwest. Giving to Hope Children's Hospital's area of greatest need provides additional resources and flexibility to respond quickly to new ideas and programs that support the hospital's strategic directions.

Caring for young cancer survivors
Hope Children's Hospital's follow-up clinic for survivors of childhood cancer is the most effective mechanism to provide comprehensive care, including medical services, education and psychosocial support to young cancer survivors and their families. While new treatments have increased survival rates, they also contribute to long-term physiologic and cognitive effects. Your gift can help pediatric cancer survivors and their families transition back to "normal" life.

Bringing comfort to the littlest patients
Hearts for Hope is a volunteer organization dedicated to raising awareness and support for the children and families cared for by Hope Children's Hospital. Funds donated to Hearts for Hope help purchase equipment, furnishings and provisions for the comfort of patients and families. The group has also created a Family Assistance Program to aid families of hospitalized children. Throughout the year, the organization hosts toy drives, patient parties, special events and educational seminars.

Enhancing care for the youngest cancer patients
The Keyser Family Pediatric Cancer Center at Hope Children's Hospital provides a full range of diagnostic and treatment services for children, from infants through adolescents, in virtually all childhood cancers. Your gift supports a multidisciplinary approach, a focus on family that minimizes the impact on daily life, and advanced and comfortable environments for patient care.

Hope Children’s Hospital is well known for its excellence and experience in caring for children with congenital and acquired heart disease. Your gift helps the hospital keep its cardiology care up-to-date with new treatments and technology.

Creating a home away from home
Families of children receiving medical treatment will soon have a comfortable, supportive and inexpensive place to stay near Hope Children's Hospital. Plans are on the way to build a Ronald McDonald Gauest House® adjacent to the hospital. Your gift will help provide a home away from home for families during a difficult time.

Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana® has selected Advocate Christ Medical Center as their healthcare provider/partner of choice in delivering preventative healthcare to the indigent and less fortunate of our primary, secondary and tertiary markets. Services to be included (but not limited to): school physicals, immunizations, asthma care, health screenings, pre-natal instruction and education, and well-baby care throughout the community.

Lending a helping hand to moms and babies
