Congratulations and Thanks

Cook County North Shore Hospital is 50 Years Old

The lower level of the Sawtooth Mountain Clinic was packed Saturday afternoon with folks celebrating 50 years of having a hospital in Cook County. The celebration included coffee, punch, brownies and cake. More importantly, the celebration included a handful of speakers that shared their personal stories about how the hospital came to be. Many of those women and men who worked hard to make our hospital a reality were present and acknowledged. It was great to hear this history from those who actually made it happen!

Thanks to all who had the vision and perserverence to build our first hospital and pave the way to the excellent health care we enjoy today.
