Lake Forest Pediatric Associates held a successful School Supply Drive for local Round Lake area children affected by the flooding in August. Families with children at Beach Elementary, Ellis Elementary, and Murphy Elementary were especially impacted by area flooding.

Thank you to our staff from all three Lake Forest Pediatric Associates’ offices who participated in the school supply drive by purchasing, collecting, sorting, and delivering the school supplies. Backpacks, notebooks, art supplies, and more filled three extra-large boxes to overflowing!

Members of our Employee Engagement Committee delivered the school supplies to the Superintendent Office, Round Lake Community Unit School District 116, to be distributed throughout the school district.

Financial donations for restoration efforts from the flooding may be sent to the Round Lake Area Schools Education Foundation.

Lake Forest Pediatrics strives to provide high quality, compassionate, and outstanding pediatric care to the families of the communities we serve. The well-being and availability of health care for kids is a very important matter. For over 20 years the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) has helped provide healthcare for children and their families.

It has been over 100 days since Congress passed funding for this program. In order to avoid a government shutdown by January 19th, Congress must pass a new government spending bill. We encourage you to make your voice heard by contacting your members of Congress to let them know the importance of including CHIP funding in this bill.

Call your members of Congress today:
877-233-9025 and be directed to the offices of your federal legislators.

Tweet to your members of Congress today and include this hashtag: #ExtendCHIP

• Twitter handles for all US Representatives:

Please also feel free to share this message in order to raise awareness for the urgency of including healthcare coverage for millions of children in this bill. Thank you for supporting children and their families!
