A spectacular Derrick Rose Night to cap off Derrick Rose Day in Chicago. On Saturday, Jan. 4, Bulls alumni, former teammates, family and friends traveled to Chicago to celebrate the career and legacy of Derrick Rose. The Bulls hosted the New York Knicks at the United Center on 1.4.25, the date symbolizing the jersey numbers Rose wore as a Bull, a Knick and as a high school player at Simeon Career Academy. The evening was a celebration of Rose’s retirement from the NBA, his memorable career and his contributions to the Bulls and Chicago. The doors of the United Center opened 30 minutes early to provide fans a chance to fully experience Derrick Rose Night. One highlight was the Derrick Rose Atrium Experience, supported by Advocate Health Care, BMO U.S., Magellan Corporation and Wind Creek Chicago Southland. The installation showcased unique memorabilia from Rose’s career milestones, personal mementos and iconic shoe line. Fans also had the opportunity to walk away with a memorable themed item, courtesy of adidas. To keep the celebration going, the Derrick Rose Atrium Experience will remain open to the public on Jan. 6 and Jan. 7. Fans also can look forward to next year, as the Bulls announced plans to retire Rose’s #1 jersey during the 2025-2026 season, forever cementing his legacy in Chicago.

Congratulations to the families of the first babies born across Advocate Health Care on New Year’s Day!

What could be a more wonderful way to welcome 2025 than with a new baby! 🎉 Our first baby of 2025 was born at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center in Chicago at 12:12 am. Sophia and Joshua are excited to welcome their baby, Scarlett, weighing 6 lbs 15 oz. Fun fact: Scarlett was born to the song “Mr. Jones” by Counting Crows. Join us in wishing all the families a happy and healthy new year! ❤️🥳

👀SPOTTED!🎅 Santa took a break from his usual duties up at the North Pole to make a special stop at our Advocate Children's Hospital campuses to bring smiles, cheer & presents to our patients. Thank you to our teams for helping bring ✨Christmas magic✨ to hospitalized children and their families throughout this holiday season! 🎁🎄

🎶 Who says the celebrations have to end? We’re still in the spirit of joy and fun with another fantastic rendition of Jingle Bells from our amazing teammates. They worked hard and had a blast singing together, and we couldn’t be more excited to share it with you! ✨

A triumph worth celebrating! 🌟 One year after completing her chemotherapy, Round Lake cancer survivor Sally Wagner took center field at Soldier Field to unfurl the iconic Bear Down flag before the Chicago Bears game. 🏈 Sally, treated at Advocate Condell Medical Center, was joined by her family making this a special experience. 💙

This holiday season, our teammates came together to spread joy and brighten spirits throughout our hospitals. From festive decorations to heartfelt moments, they made the season truly special for everyone. 💚❤️ Take a look back at some of the magical moments!
