Dr. Sue Weisberg;
Cherished & Beloved.
A beloved pediatrician in the Highland Park suburb of Chicago, Dr. Sue Weisberg was known throughout the city as a devoted and loving doctor who would stop at nothing to ensure her young patients, or as she called them, her “angels,” were cared for in the best possible way.
More than a doctor, she was a friend to all who knew her. She had a gift to be able explain complicated medical conditions and procedures to parents.
Dr. Sue was a loving daughter, wife, mother, stepmother and grandmother. Her tragic loss was devastating, not only to her family, but to an entire community.
“A famous rabbi once said that when he was young, he admired clever people, but that as he aged, he admired kind people.”
Why a Library?
It began with a simple wish. A small dedicated corner with books for children to read. A few years later the Dr. Sue Library has blossomed into what it is today, a creative space for families to gather together.
The library will continue to embody the spirit Dr. Sue imbued within her pediatric practice; a dedicated devotion to kindness, empathy, understanding, unconditional love and care.
Noted scholar & author.
In addition to being a Pediatrician, Dr. Sue was a noted scholar and author. She wrote a highly praised book on vaccines, Factcines: “Facts on Vaccines.”
Always keeping the wellbeing of each of her “angels” and their entire families in mind, Dr. Sue wrote her next book on parenting adolescents, entitled; Thirteen Enjoyable Aspects of Parenting Adolescents: One Pediatrician’s Perspective on Our Greatest of Gifts, in Their Hardest of Years.
