As the Editor, Sara Patterson selected the feature story about a teenager born with a nevus, or pigmented birthmark, whose life was transformed through its removal by a NorthShore plastic surgeon. While Sara works with several writers to produce each issue of the magazine, she wrote the articles about  a patient with tremors who opts for a life-changing procedure that implants  a pacemaker for his brain through the exceptional teamwork of NorthShore physicians and NorthShore’s  Outpatient Clinic at Evanston Hospital, which serves almost 5,000 patients annually for comprehensive medical service at little or no charge.
