In 2020, Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago was among the first in pediatrics to introduce cryoablation for some pediatric procedures. Cryoablation is technique that uses extreme cold to freeze nerves and reduce pain following surgery. Over time, the nerves regenerate and resume normal function. This technique decreases pain and dramatically shortens post-surgery hospital stays and overall recovery time for patients who’ve undergone surgery for pectus excavatum (sunken chest) and for lung resections. Lurie Children’s recently passed an important milestone, treating 400 patients with cryoablation. Lurie Children’s is committed to improving pediatric healthcare through groundbreaking research and innovative treatments.

Ann was an outstanding example of what "giving back" to a community can mean. Lurie Children's Hospital continues to help children with health issues become their best and strongest selves. What a wonderful gift to leave to countless others!
