Joshua Stuart Krinsky Memorial Golf Outing Supports Families at NorthShore Evanston Hospital
The 2018 annual Joshua Stuart Krinsky Memorial Golf Outing raised nearly $25,000 this year to support the Infant Special Care Unit and Perinatal Family Support Center at NorthShore University HealthSystem. Supporters joined together for the golf outing, silent auction and dinner at White Deer Run Golf Club in Vernon Hills.
Thirty-four years ago, Dr. Harold Krinsky's son, Joshua, was born prematurely. He was taken immediately to the Infant Special Care Unit at NorthShore Evanston Hospital, where he spent the next seven months of his life. Despite the heroic efforts of the dedicated and skilled neonatal doctors and nurses, Joshua could not overcome his serious health issues and passed away.
In appreciation of the outstanding care Dr. Krinsky's family received, the Krinsky family and Dr. Krinsky's staff host the annual Joshua Stuart Krinsky Memorial Golf Outing, Silent Auction and Dinner. To date, the event has raised more than $200,000.
