On Saturday, February 8 and Sunday, February 9, the LCC Kare 9 Military Ministry visited the ER staff and other staff members at Little Company of Mary Hospital in Evergreen Park, Illinois.

The purpose of the visit was to help the staff de-stress from the challenge of changing to a new computer system. The hospital recently merged with OSF (Order of St. Francis) Health Care, which brought many changes. Change is always fraught with some level of anxiety.
