private health systems. There's about 18 health care and family services in
Cook county. Like a think tank, asking questions. What would we like Cook
county's health to look like in ten years? How is quality of life perceived in
our community? What assets do we have that can be used to support and improve
community health? And, What is occurring or might occur that affects the
health of our community? To name a few. If this is of interest to some, a
variety of perspectives within the community is necessary to ensure that the
process results in a community-driven initiative. A good starting point will
include those of you who have a hand in providing health services. And, of
course ALL community members regardless of profession are needed. We may
discover that the private, public health services and community members are
more closely linked together than we imagined. Some may want to continue by
getting together with ideas that could result in public policy.
