We take this time to thank CRYSTAL WINTERS as we celebrate International Housekeepers Week. This is one of the most important weeks in the health care field. Thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting high-touch surfaces is just the beginning of all the cleaning practices that she follows. Thank you, Crystal, for your hard work and for making our office spotless and safe. Your dedication makes a real difference. We couldn’t do it without you!!

🌟 Did you know? 🌟

Starting October 1, 2025, in Illinois, if you’re a participating WIC client with a child aged 6 months – 1 year old (and developmentally ready), you’ll have a new option!
👉 You can swap out half or all of your jarred fruits & veggies for a cash value benefit (up to $22) to spend on fresh fruits & veggies instead. 🥦🍎🥕
This is a great way to bring more fresh produce into your little one’s meals!
