Silver Cross Hospital

When a patient was brought in by ambulance and admitted to the 5th floor, he and his wife quickly felt reassured knowing Gabriela Martinez, CNA, 5:1, was there when they needed her. "We were lucky not to hit the 'we need a nurse NOW' point, mainly because Gaby was there," wrote the patient's wife. "If only to pop her head in and ask if we needed anything, just to let us know when we did, if we did, she would be nearby." "Gaby is caring and careful. My husband was bleeding a lot, and we didn't know why. Gaby showed concern and seemed to know my husband needed assurance and comfort. Her smile and frequent 'pop her head in' helped us both feel we were being attended to. Gaby was gentle and kind. She was super busy, yet still able to help make us feel we were a concern." We couldn't agree more! Congratulations and thank you, Gaby, for being excellent every day for your patients! Is there a Silver Cross Nursing Assistant you'd like to recognize for the BEE Award?

#SilverCrossFirst! Susan Shamoun, Administrative Director of Business Intelligence at Silver Cross, and her daughter Elizabeth will be on the air TONIGHT, showcasing their amazing puzzle-solving prowess on the CBS gameshow LINGO! Susan described it as a “once-in-a-lifetime experience” that allowed her to check off “appearing on a gameshow” from her bucket list. In April 2023, the talented mother/daughter team were flown to Manchester, United Kingdom, spending 15 hours on the gameshow set in front of a live studio audience! Tune in tonight at 7 pm on CBS 2 Chicago to see how they did!

Rachael Greeney had been struggling with her weight since she was a young girl growing up in southeastern England. But that didn't stop her from achieving incredible things, like running the Chicago Marathon in 2019, even with 275 pounds on her 5'8" frame. "It took me seven and a half hours, but I finished!” "I finally reached a point where I had had enough. It was frustrating, so I started looking into surgical options," Rachael explained. After attending an informational seminar with BMI Surgery at Silver Cross, Rachael underwent gastric bypass surgery. In total, Dr. Brian Lahmann and his partners at BMI Surgery have performed over 10,000 weight loss surgeries at Silver Cross, which also offers a broad range of bariatric surgery care services, including inpatient care, post-operative care, outpatient follow-up care, and patient education. “I really liked that they had that support; they don’t just do the surgery and say, ‘See you later.’ Rachael has since completed several marathons! Now, she has her eye on hitting the 5-hour mark in two marathons this year, including the Chicago Marathon in October, on her father’s birthday. Read Rachael's story here: https://bit.ly/4bAthJs
