The Village Board presented a proclamation recognizing the Northwestern Medicine St. George Cancer Institute and the Living Well Cancer Resources program for expanding supportive oncology services in Orland Park.
Mayor James Dodge and the Board of Trustees presented a proclamation Nov. 3 recognizing Northwestern Medicine St. George Cancer Institute and the St. George Foundation for their support of local cancer care and donor‑funded Living Well supportive services. Jamie Ott, living well coordinator at Northwestern Medicine Saint George Cancer Institute, described the Orland Park satellite and summarized services offered free to any person affected by cancer regardless of where they receive treatment.
Ott said the Living Well program provides counseling, support groups, fitness and nutrition classes, art therapy and a wig boutique, and that those services are offered at no cost through donor support. The proclamation notes the institute's infusion center, on‑site pharmacy and laboratory, and radiation oncology services as part of a regional system serving newly diagnosed patients.
The board designated Northwestern Medicine Living Well Cancer Resources as the Village's community organization of the month and presented framed recognition for the office.
