Do you know what to do if someone you love is overheating? Heat-related illnesses, like heat exhaustion or heat stroke, happen when the body is not able to properly cool itself.
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.
FHN's Miles And Minutes program is back! Summer exercise and even everyday physical activity like gardening can pay off in prizes for area schools with FHN's Miles And Minutes program.
