FHN and the Northern Illinois Food Pantry are helping get a healthy "dose" of good food to those who need it. This free program will distribute healthy produce, milk, eggs, and frozen and canned meats to qualified participants on a regular basis.
It looks like 2019-2020 is going to be a tough flu season. The best way you can be prepared and stay healthy is to get your flu shot early!
Join in the fun as FHN gets ready for this year's Casino Royale Gala! We have activities and contests all year leading up to the big night. This year's Gala will help fund a new behavioral health stabilization project through FHN Family Counseling.
The Walk to Remember is a special ceremony for parents and families who have lost a baby (through miscarriage, stillbirth or newborn loss) to share their grief and remember their loved one.
Join women's care providers from FHN for an evening of pizza and conversation all about you. There will be four short presentations, all of which you'll "attend" without leaving your table.
This is a 1-day class designed to prepare students in grades 6-8 to be safe when they're home alone, watching younger siblings, or babysitting. Students even get to use manikins to practice rescue skills like choking rescue and CPR.
