Influenza can be deadly for children. According to the CDC, 180 children under the age of 18 died from the flu in the past flu season. The CDC recommends everyone over the age of 6 months be vaccinated every year against the flu, unless there is a medical reason to avoid doing so.

The American Academy of Pediatrics is recommending that children be vaccinated with injectable flu vaccine for the coming season. Read here about why the injected version is recommended over FluMist.

Lake Forest Pediatric Associates is now scheduling flu shot appointments. Please call 847-295-1220 to schedule an appointment.

Congratulations to Lake Forest Pediatric Associates’ pediatrician Dr. Jeff Roleck, who finished the 41st Chicago Marathon on Sunday, October 7th!

Wet paving and the occasional sprinkles didn’t dampen Dr. Roleck’s enthusiasm for the popular athletic event! Starting and finishing in Grant Park, he ran the 26.2-mile course through 29 picturesque Chicago neighborhoods. An estimated 1.7 million spectators enthusiastically supported the runners by ringing bells, clapping, holding up signs, and shouting kind words of support.

This was Dr. Roleck’s 4th Chicago Marathon finish. All of us at Lake Forest Pediatric Associates are so proud of Dr. Roleck’s accomplishment!

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.
