Huge congratulations to my counterparts and team following completion of the associated education and practicum related to obtaining certification in Making a Difference in Infectious Diseases, MAD-ID. Over time Sunny Hill residents have experienced the positive benefit of judicious Antibiotic prescribing and treatment and observed a significant decrease in the overall use of antibiotics in our community. This resulted from the approaches and practices adopted to improve the lives of our resident family.
Featured L to R Ieva Ciccio, Infection Preventionist, June Smalec, Staff Development & Media Coordinator, Maggie McDowell, Administrator, Ana Marie Mendiola, ADON/Risk Manager and not featured Dawn Green Director of Nursing.

National Ice Cream Day is coming up on Sunday July 20th. Mark your calendars! However, Sunny Hill started early by inviting our neighbors, Will County Health Department staff to stop by and pick up some free ice cream courtesy of our Friends of Sunny Hill and served by our volunteer angels. Perfect day to cool down with a sweet treat and scoop of a favorite flavor. Friends of Sunny Hill Volunteers will also deliver free ice cream treats to all residents, visitors and staff throughout the facility on Sunday to help celebrate this flavorful occasion.
