Community Support of our Health Care Heroes
Thank you!
Thank you to all the businesses, family members, referring partners, vendors, fellow staffers, physicians and community neighbors who’ve shown such thoughtfulness and generosity to our health care heroes during this unprecedented time. Our team members are so grateful for the outpouring of support.
Lexington of Bloomingdale
- Signify Health/Remedy Partners sent tins of Mrs. Fields Cookies to team members with a note: “Thank you for your hard work during this difficult time. We appreciate your sacrifice and dedication.”
- Dr. Muhammad Shahzad and the Chicago Muslim Medical Alliance (CMMA) made a generous Personal Protective Equipment (“PPE”) donation.
- A patient’s family member made and donated facemasks for our non-clinical team members.
- The Village of Schaumburg, Illinois Government donated Personal Protective Equipment (“PPE”) to the team at Lexington of Schaumburg.
Lexington of La Grange
- A family member brought in a beautiful array of sweet treats for the staff.
Lexington of Lake Zurich
- The Klobuchar family fed our entire staff breakfast one day and dinner on another. The Boduch family provided Panera Catering for the hard-working third floor staff and Lexington’s own Tanya Malinowski provided meals for all three shifts.
Lexington Health Network
- Lexington’s Chief Financial Officer, Tammy Bobbitt, sent delicious treats of chocolate chip cookies to all Skilled Nursing team members.
- Nicholas Joseph Custom Tailors of Chicago donated 1,000 Ear Savers (instead of hooking a facemask around the ears, you hook the mask to this plastic head strap.) This is just one example of the generosity of this company and its owner, Nick Hansen, who responded robustly to the “PPE” supply needs early on.
- The Vistex Foundation generously donated a $1,000 grant for both Lexington of Lombard and Lexington of Elmhurst. The funds will provide meals for our hard working front line staff at both locations.

- Receptionist extraordinaire, Debbie Benson, nominated one of our Nurse Heroes, Patti Raffin, for an essential workers contest at Lou Malnati’s of Lake Zurich. Lou Malnati’s recognized Patti as their Essential Worker of the Week and provided pizza for Patti and the rest of her 1st floor team.
- The Chiarelli, Riehle and Genovese families provided wonderful lunch and dinners for our dedicated health care heroes.
