Chicago Cubs alum brings smiles to patients at Advocate Condell Medical Center

Chicago Cubs alum Ray Burris brightened the day for patients at Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville during a special visit today. He took photos, signed autographs, and spent time chatting with patients and their families, spreading much-needed joy.

Burris visited the infusion center, where patients undergoing chemotherapy, antibiotics, blood treatments and other therapies often face long sessions. His visit provided a welcome distraction, as he handed out Cubs T-shirts and talked baseball. The heartwarming visit lifted the spirits of cancer and chronic illness patients, making their day a little brighter.

“It was a great day meeting Ray. I never thought something like this would happen to me, but today it did,” shared Michael McCraren, Mundelein resident and patient at Advocate Condell Medical Center. “I can’t wait to tell all my friends and watch the Cubs game tonight.”
