Ace Hardware Helpful Heroes

The Helpful Heroes program was established in 2022 by Ace Hardware to recognize the hard work of Nurses and Child Life Specialists at Lurie Children’s and Almost Home Kids. Helpful Heroes at Lurie Children’s are nursing and child life team members who embody a helpful spirit through their work with patients, families and colleagues inside Lurie Children’s, as well as in their local community. Each year, a small group of Helpful Heroes will be selected by a panel of Ace Hardware Foundation team members. Those selected will be announced in October and will be honored at a celebration in November.

Do you know an outstanding Lurie Children’s Nurse or Child Life Specialist? Perhaps they go above and beyond for the patients and families they serve. Maybe they consistently prioritize teamwork and support for their colleagues. Or maybe they’ve brought to life creative new ideas to help fuel innovation within their department. Nominate them as a Helpful Hero today!
