On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we are reminded to embrace the Civil Rights leader's spirit of service and community, and to give back where we can. Today and every day, we are proud to serve our community! Although community service may look different this year, there are still many ways to get involved this #MLKDay.

The pandemic is limiting in-person events, but Chicago groups are planning other ways to honor Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday.We want to extend our thanks to Lisa Egan, RN, Director of Population Health and Infection Preventionist at Riveredge Hospital, for being one of our #HealthcareHeroes throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. This week Lisa transformed our gym into our first ever vaccination clinic for employees to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Our employees were eager to take pictures and share their experiences with their co-workers, families and friends.
Karen Johnson, MSW, Senior Vice President of Clinical Services, BH Division joined us and received her COVID-19 vaccine as well. We want to thank CIMPAR for administering the vaccine and for making the experience “almost painless.” Their professionalism and friendliness contributed to the festive atmosphere. As the lead for Riveredge Hospital’s COIVD-19 Response Team, Lisa reminds us that “the sooner we are all vaccinated, the sooner we can see each other’s smiles.” #WeareRiveredge #WeCare
Vaccines will be available to the general population in the months ahead at area vaccination clinics still to be determined.
Lisa has always been a great leader and shining example. Great to hear about the vaccinations! You go, Riveredge!
I’m so proud to work with such amazing, compassionate people!
This is awesome!
Those are some gems of human beings🌟🌟
