PP4H and Loyola Medicine Host Community Forum with Senator Durbin

PP4H, in partnership with Loyola Medicine, hosted a community discussion with U.S. Senator Dick Durbin on August 7 at the Maywood Park District’s Lightford Recreation Center.  

Senator Durbin, who is spearheading the Chicago HEAL Initiative with 10 Chicago area hospitals - including Loyola - and their community partners, facilitated a discussion with Maywood residents on HEAL’s community violence prevention goals. Residents’ comments centered on how actions around community violence can be more inclusive to support Maywood’s youth, families at the margins, and justice-involved residents.
