Thank you for supporting nursing excellence at Advocate Aurora Health!

Thanks to generous donors and attendees, more than $750,000 was raised at the 2019 Advocate Aurora Health Gala on Saturday, September 7! Proceeds will enhance education and professional development for nurses across the system. Nurses are life-long learners and your support will help ensure our nurses have every opportunity to grow and develop so they can best serve our patients.

Close to 700 people attended the gala, held at the Wisconsin Center in downtown Milwaukee. Guests were entertained by surprise music act, Rob Thomas. It was the first system-wide fundraising event for the Advocate Aurora Health Foundations.

We are especially grateful for Advocate Aurora Health Board Director, Joanne Disch, PhD, RN, FAAN, who served as the event chair. Disch is also a Registered Nurse and helped select the seven Nurse Ambassadors from across the system who were recognized at the event. The ambassadors represented the talent, compassion and diversity of the nurses who work at Advocate Aurora Health.

Thank you so much for helping your community live well!
