And sometimes we hear about a great example of one of our customers making a difference of their own that we want to share.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Daniel Ivankovich, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/specials\/cnn-heroes\">along with nine others<\/a>, was recently named one of the 2015 Top 10 CNN Heroes. CNN Heroes are remarkable individuals who were selected by a blue ribbon panel for their efforts to help the world through their passion to make a change.<\/p>\n<p>Ivankovich is a doctor who runs three clinics in Chicago (near OWC headquarters in Woodstock, Ill.) and treats patients regardless of their ability to pay. In 2010, he co-founded the nonprofit <a href=\"http:\/\/onepatient.org\/\">OnePatient Global Health Initiative<\/a>. Ivankovich performs more than 600 surgeries a year and more than 100,000 patients have benefited from the program.<\/p>\n<p>Voting will determine which of the 10 CNN Heroes will be named \u201cHero of the Year\u201d and all of the Heroes will be honored Dec. 6 during, &#8220;CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute,&#8221; on CNN.<\/p>\n<p>We hope you\u2019ll consider each nominee\u2019s mission to help others and <a href=\"http:\/\/heroes.cnn.com\/#.gd6iidGkidXw\">vote for the candidate<\/a> that you believe is most deserving of the honor.
