Here are some of the changes that I would like to see. Thank you.
Replace the current curve with a balanced arc, pointed on each end and thicker in the middle. The arc should not touch the "A" in Advocate but float above the word Elder... centered left to right over the word Elder... and a little longer than the word Elder -- like an umbrella protecting elders. In the current version of the logo, the curve is about the right distance over the word Elder. That would seem to be the right amount of space between the new arc and the word Elder.
I like the Blue. My monitors show the second color differently. I'd like to see something in a darker gold such as R=194 G=157 B=53
