Lewis University has raised more than $30,000 for Hope Children’s Hospital. The donations are used to assist families of hospitalized children in their greatest time of need. In the past, the funds were used to pay for transportation for children receiving outpatient services, medicine, clothing, hotel rooms for families, bus passes, and airline flights. In 2009, a combined effort of Lewis University College of Nursing and Health Professions, Student Nurses’ Association, Student Governing Board, and WLRA raised a record $12,020 for the Hope Children’s Hospital Family Assistance Fund program.
