Gottlieb to celebrate 50th anniversary in the hospital's newly renovated lobby

Gottlieb Memorial Hospital is welcoming members of the community, local dignitaries and invited guests as it recognizes the 50th anniversary of its founding. A public celebration will be held at 2 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 4, in the hospital's newly renovated lobby, where cake will be served.

A blessing will be led by Fr. Jack O'Callahan, chaplain at Loyola University Health System, together with other local clergy. The event will include the unveiling of a history wall commemorating the accomplishments of the hospital and tours of the hospital's newly renovated areas.

"As we celebrate our 50th year of serving our community, we recognize those from the past who have given us our strong foundation and also those in the present who continue to lead us confidently into the future," said Trisha Cassidy, president, Gottlieb Memorial Hospital, part of Loyola University Health System.

The Emerald Ball, Gottlieb's black-tie gala, also celebrates its golden anniversary on Saturday, Nov. 5, at the Ritz-Carleton in Chicago, and has been held consistently on the first Saturday night in November, for the past 50 years.
