We are so proud of the heroes who work endless hours for the wellbeing of others. During such difficult times, this group chose kindness. For that, and all you do each day, we sincerely thank you.Surgical Services Mission Partners at OSF Saint Elizabeth participated in a fundraiser for our local Ottawa PADS shelter! LeeAnn Biros, Ambulatory Surgery RN, led a recycling drive collecting aluminum cans from the department and turned those in for cash. Audrey Heiss, Surgical RN, also did an annual drive the weeks prior to Thanksgiving, asking for donations. Together, they collected over $1000, as well as a 22 pound ham and large serving platter, all to be donated to the PADs shelter.
