Norwegian American Hospital welcomes the community to join the hospital as we celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday, January 19, 2015, 2 – 3 p.m., during a free program in the Hospital’s Fifth Floor POB Conference Room.
The 4th Annual MLK Day Recognition program is titled,”Dr. King: A Legacy of Service.” Admission is free, but we encourage you to bring a non-perishable food item.
The afternoon includes a keynote address from Hermene Hartman, Publisher/Editor-in-Chief of N’Digo Magazine. Hartman also served as vice chancellor of the City Colleges of Chicago.
