The Elmhurst Memorial Hospital Foundation raised more than $482,000, a record, at its 19th Annual Autumn Affair on Sept. 16 at the Four Seasons Hotel Chicago.

More than 325 people attended the gala, which is the Foundation’s largest fundraiser of the year and supports Elmhurst Hospital programs and services that directly impact patients.

Proceeds from this year’s Autumn Affair will support the future growth and needs of the Elmhurst Hospital Emergency Department.
