In recognition of World Cancer Day, February 4th, residents and team members of Emerald Place Memory Care in Glenview, Illinois came together to assemble “hope packages” for individuals receiving care at Gilda’s Club Chicago, an outreach organization designed to offer comfort and encouragement to those undergoing chemotherapy.
Each package included handwritten notes of inspiration, lip balm, lotion, cozy socks, mints, and other soothing essentials. The care packages were personally delivered to Gilda’s Club, where Emerald Place residents also toured the facility and learned more about the support groups and programs available to individuals and families navigating a cancer diagnosis.
