Chicago (Jan. 6, 2010) Saint Xavier University School of Nursing Dean Gloria Jacobson, R.N., Ph.D., was named to the Board of Trustees at La Rabida Children’s Hospital in Chicago at the Board’s most recent meeting in December.La Rabida provides comprehensive, interdisciplinary health services to children across a continuum of care and is dedicated to excellence in caring for children with chronic illness, disabilities or those who have been victims of abuse, regardless of their ability to pay.
“I am honored to have been offered this opportunity and am delighted to serve as a Trustee of La Rabida Children’s Hospital, a Chicago institution that has helped children reach their highest potential since 1896,” said Jacobson. “No other hospital in Chicago is more dedicated to the care of children with chronic illness, developmental disabilities and those who have experienced abuse and trauma.”
“Because we serve some 9,000 chronically ill children and their families as a medical home and because these children and families will be with us from early childhood to adulthood, it is essential our Trustees contain members, who like Dr. Jacobson, through their care, interest and dedication, will continue to ensure quality care for our children, regardless of their ability to pay,” said Michael C. Cleavenger, La Rabida vice president of fund development.
Jacobson will serve a three-year term and sit on La Rabida’s Quality Management committee.

I want not approve on it. I regard as polite post. Particularly the title attracted me to be familiar with the unscathed story.
