Cleveland Clinic Reaches Windy City

Wambergs Host Chicago Events

Tom and Dede Wamberg of Barrington Hills, Ill., wish they could have brought Mr. Wamberg's mother to Cleveland Clinic before a stroke complicated the ability to treat a tumor in her heart, greatly impacting her quality of life. On October 13, they shared this personal story with Chicago-area guests during an evening reception at their home.

The reception and a ladies luncheon hosted by Mrs. Wamberg that afternoon at the Barrington Hills Country Club offered inside perspectives on Cleveland Clinic for Chicago-area attendees.

Guests enjoyed health insights from Michael F. Roizen, M.D.. Dr. Roizen is Chairman of Cleveland Clinic Anesthesiology, Critical Care Medicine and Comprehensive Pain Management and co-author of several best-selling books, including You: The Owner's Manual. He offered simple yet effective strategies to keep one's body in peak operating condition, such as eating walnuts for cardiovascular health and the do's and don'ts of daily aspirin therapy.

Campaign Executive Chairs Anita Cosgrove, Esq., and Ronald Ross, M.D., FACR, discussed Cleveland Clinic's model of care and its goals to improve healthcare of the future through Today's Innovations, Tomorrow's Healthcare: Campaign for Cleveland Clinic. Attendees left both events with valuable health information from Cleveland Clinic, one of America's best hospitals as ranked by U.S.News & World Report. View event photos.
