Making Donations
Thank you for your interest in donating to the children we serve at Northwest Community Hospital. We depend on people, just like you, to provide the extra touches that make a child’s day in the hospital a little better.
We care for children through the Northwest suburbs in a variety of different areas such as our Special Care Nursery, the Pediatric Emergency Department, and the Pediatric Inpatient Unit.
The Pediatric ED sees over 10,000 children a year, and the Pediatric inpatient unit has approximately 2,000 admissions per year. We also see pediatric patients in our Imaging department, as well as our Immediate Care Centers.
Many donations are accepted, but we are unable to accept any used toys, used stuffed animals, candy or religious items as donations. If you require any additional information, contact Gayle Kreer at 847.618.4205 or at gkreer@nch.org.
