Shah Leads GOP Money Race for U.S. House BY STEVE SADIN DAILYNORTHSHORE.COM
Sapan Shah of Libertyville, one of three Republicans seeking their partyâs nomination to represent the 10th Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives, ended 2017 with substantially more cash on hand than his primary opponents. Shah has nearly twice the war chest as Jeremy Wynes of Highland Park and almost six times as much as Doug Bennett of Deerfield. Bennett, Wynes and Shah are competing in the March 20 primary for the right to challenge Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Deerfield) in the November 6 general election. Shah ended the year with $602,016.95 cash on hand, according to his report filed with the Federal Election Commission. He raised $337,545 for the quarter ending December 31 for a total of $647,234 since he started his campaign. Wynes ended 2017 with $216,631 in the bank after raising $67,357 in the fourth quarter, according to his FEC report. For the year, he has collected $327,262. Bennett had $101,632.80 to spend on his campaign as of the end of last year. He took in $20,411 for the fourth quarter and $29,821 for the year. His campaign is primarily self funded so far. He loaned his effort $115,000 and made a donation of $12,000, according to the FEC report. Continued on PG 12

NORTHWESTERN MEDICINE LAKE FOREST HOSPITAL PREPS FOR OPENING BY STEVE SADIN DAILYNORTHSHORE.COM
Planning for the new Northwestern Medicine Lake Forest Hospital started with research. The research was not only about medicine; it also included learning from the people who are around the hospital every day. Patients, nurses and technicians were asked what they liked and disliked about the existing facility built 70 years ago and what they wanted in a new hospital. Already operating all but one of its 15 outpatient clinics at the new facility since September 25, the new, near ly 500,000-square-foot, $400 million hospital will begin caring for inpatients March 3. âWeâll start moving patients at 6 a.m. and weâll be done by noon that day,â said Dr. Jeffery Kopin, a Highland Park resident and the hospitalâs senior vice president and chief medical officer. Hospital personnel got some unplanned practice moving patients last summer when the hospital was closed July 12 for six days due to a power failure caused by a record rain. âThat unintended event of the flood gave us an idea of what we would have to do on March 3,â said Kopin. Thomas J. McAfee, president of Northwestern Medicine North Region and a Lake Bluff resident, said in July the hospital prepares and drills for a possible evacuation. There have been dry runs leading up to the coming move.

Leading-edge Technology
The package of the latest in medical technology and care is coupled with an environment designed to make patients, both those coming for outpatient treatment and those staying overnight, as comfortable as possible, according to Kopin. With a new building approximately
140,000 square feet larger than the old one just to the south, Kopin said the number of beds is the same. Unlike the old building, every patient will have a private room. When the new facility opens, Kopin said, a new computer system will go live for the entire Northwestern system, adding efficiency and safety.
