This year’s honoree will be Endeavor Health hematologist oncologist Matthew Adess, MD, whose philosophy of patient care is to treat people the way he would want to be treated, and to deliver the best possible patient care with empathy, dedication, and respect, especially during their most vulnerable moments. This year’s speaker, David Dickerson, MD, Division Chief of Pain Medicine at Endeavor Health’s NorthShore and Swedish hospitals, will discuss how treating the whole person for acute and chronic pain helps reduce pain and improves function.

The luncheon will include a silent auction featuring a vast array of items as well as a raffle with bags valued at more than $3000 each.

The proceeds of this event support the MRW Health Resource Center, which serves to educate patients to make more informed decisions about their health that ultimately encourages them to have better outcomes and enjoy a healthier quality of life.
