Now with the help of Eastern Illinois University, parents, students, and staff will want to know what the plan is before school starts!

Today we're shining a spotlight on a leader who is changing the way Illinois thinks about healthy aging! Dr. Megan Huisingh-Scheetz, MD, MPH, AGSF, of The University of Chicago is Illinois's "Ensuring Health for All Ages" Working Group Chair!

Dr. Huisingh-Scheetz is a geriatrician who has spent her career finding innovative ways to help older adults stay healthy, active, and independent -- including using technology like wearable devices and smart voice platforms to support older adults right in their own homes. Her work is rooted in a simple but powerful belief: every person deserves the chance to age well, no matter where they live or what their background is.

We're so grateful to have her expertise and passion guiding this workgroup!
