Issue Position: Health Care

Issue Position

The 39th District already contains some of the best community-health professionals in the city. Local clinics, door-to-door outreach teams, and preventative information help keep our residents healthy and reduce medical costs. Will Guzzardi will fight for existing programs, like the health team organized by the Logan Square Neighborhood Association, and promote new initiatives with the input of public-health officials and community leaders.

What Will's going to do:

Advocate for community-based health practitioners and fight for equitable funding for their work

Focus on comprehensive HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment in collaboration with community organizations

Sponsor regular health events and workshops to encourage preventative vaccinations and open access to information
