Dr. Lisa Lubsch
Southern Illinois University Edwardsville School of Pharmacy faculty member Dr. Lisa Lubsch is among 11 individuals recognized by Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center as a “Light of Hope.”
Glennon Ambassadors introduced the Light of Hope program in February 2013. Through the program, families are able to express gratitude for the exceptional care and compassion they received from their caregivers.
“I have so much gratitude for the opportunity to impact a child’s health on a daily basis,” said Lubsch, a clinical associate professor in the School of Pharmacy. “I am humbled by this family’s appreciation.”
“Dr. Lubsch is a truly caring pharmacist and one of the best at what she does,” said Gireesh Gupchup, dean of the School of Pharmacy. “It is no wonder that the family of one of her patients nominated her for the ‘Light of Hope’ recognition.”
“Lisa is an energetic person and an outstanding clinical pharmacist who is passionate about the patient care she provides at Cardinal Glennon,” said Dr. Mark Ruscin, chair of the Pharmacy Practice Department in the School of Pharmacy. “The School of Pharmacy is extremely fortunate to have outstanding clinicians and educators like Lisa among our faculty.”
Grateful families can support the patient services, programs and facilities of Cardinal Glennon with a financial gift. The gift can be made in honor of a caregiver who successfully revealed the healing presence of God, serving as a “Light of Hope” during their time in the hospital.
