DePaul Physicians Recognized
for Work with Radiation
Reduction Technology

A team of urologists and fellows at DePaul Medical Center, led by Dr. Michael Fabrizio, Dr. Shaun Wason and fellows, Dr. Ashley Brandon and Dr. Arjun Poddar, have been awarded first place in an annual essay contest by the Endourological Society & the Journal of Endourology for a paper presented at the 33rd World Congress Meeting in London.

The publication and award recognize the ongoing efforts of Bon Secours DePaul Medical Center and the urology team to provide innovative technology to both patients and staff. The Lessray system is a groundbreaking technology that allows low radiation imaging in surgical cases, reducing patient radiation exposure levels threefold in urologic procedures while also reducing fluoroscopy time and surgeon radiation exposure.

'Tis the Season of Giving ---
to the Charity of Your Choice

The Season of Giving --- which includes the United Way and Bon Secours Mission Fund fundraising drives --- runs through Jan. 15.

Through your donations, the United Way and Bon Secours Mission Fund can help improve people's lives by linking those who have the resources with those who need the most help, providing services that people need to build better lives. Both the United Way and the Mission Fund offer many options for employees to direct their contributions.

Payroll deduction is a great way to contribute; however, checks and cash are good, too. If you have been contributing via payroll deduction in 2015 and want to continue to do so in 2016, you must fill out a new pledge form, which contains both United Way and Bon Secours Mission and Foundation options.

If you have any questions about the United Way, contact Susan Vosloh. For questions about the Bon Secours Mission Fund, contact Ed Gerardo.
