Local Politician Shows Support for The Auxiliary of NorthShore University HealthSystem at Highland Park Hospital

This summer, The Auxiliary of NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore) at Highland Park Hospital was the lucky beneficiary of local politician, Keith Brin’s abundant generosity. Brin, the Chief Deputy for the Lake County Circuit Court Clerk and a lifelong Highland Park resident, graciously donated more than 150 gently used books to The Auxiliary of NorthShore at Highland Park Hospital for them to share with the young patients. This incredible donation will ensure that the hospital is equipped with more familiar and comforting things, helping the younger patients have a more positive experience.

“We are incredibly grateful to Mr. Brin for his wonderful donation,” says Diane Golin, president-elect of The Auxiliary of NorthShore at Highland Park Hospital. “His generosity will undoubtedly have a positive impact on the young patients cared for at NorthShore Highland Park Hospital.”
