My years as a teacher taught me it takes a village to help students succeed.
I enjoyed joining school nurses, administrators and educators at CCDPH’s School Health Conference. I’m grateful for the care and support they provide students and families every day.

only something we look back on. Indigenous communities continue to carry forward traditions, knowledge & perspectives that are an important part of the story of Cook County.
As we celebrate those contributions, we also acknowledge the injustices Indigenous peoples have endured...
