Symposium to highlight Kane Health Counts collaboration
Be a part of the Kane Health Counts success story.
Join them for the first Kane Health Counts symposium as they highlight the programs, partnerships and strategies of the Kane Health Counts Community Health Improvement Plan.
Attendees also will hear from Dr. Steven Lome, the founder of HeartStrong.com. Dr. Lome is a board certified cardiologist at Rush Copley and is committed to combating heart disease by using food as medicine.
Dr. Lome will share his beliefs and how they align with our goals to improve one of three identified priorities in Kane County: chronic disease.
Also on the agenda will be short presentations highlighting the bright spots from the three actions teams focused on the CHIP's priorities: Behavioral Health, Chronic Disease and Income and Education.
The symposium is free and will be 9 to 11:30 a.m. Friday, Oct. 12, at the Northern Illinois Food Bank, 273 Dearborn Court, Geneva.
