Photo by Juhae Lee, Class of 2014. In April, Lee won top prize with this image in Crusader Community Health’s National Public Health Week Photo contest. Lee’s description: “Public health focuses on the community’s well-being through the joint efforts of healthcare and nonhealthcare leaders in our society. Crusader Community Health provides ‘Care Within Reach,’ which entails accessible and affordable healthcare services to all the residents of Rockford. This snapshot of the physician checking the heart rate of an 18-month-old on her mother’s lap depicts the positive impact that public health services have on the family.”
