Event: Visit to Child Life unit of Advocate Children's Hospital
Venue: Advocate Children's Hospital, 1675 Dempster Street, Park Ridge, Illinois 60068

The Midwest Garrison paid a visit to the Child Life Unit of Advocate Children's Hospital in Park Ridge. This is our second visit of the new year to the Children's wards, PICU, and Children's ER Departments. Unfortunately, we were not able to visit the ER since it was very busy. It was Tom Breed's first hospital troop as well! Many a smile was made (both little and big kids) during our visit. The staff was just as excited as the kids were as we were traversing the halls and entering rooms. We donated a BB-8 Hero Droid to the CLS Department. This will be used to escort kids to treatment in order to give anxious children a companion to their procedure. We also presented two framed picture collages for the CLS offices as thank yous for allowing us to troop.

Troopers: Eugene Almazan - IN 80870 (Naval Trooper)
Kelly Baldridge - DS 21200 (Mara Jade)
Todd Roesner - TK 60151 (TK)
Valerie Kessler - Rebel Legion (Rey)
Peter Marciano - TI 82295 (TIE Pilot)
Thomas Breed - DZ 50470 (Tusken)

Hours Trooped: 2 hours x 6 troopers = 12 hours trooped
