The employee stress management event provided a welcoming and restorative environment where staff could explore various stations designed to promote relaxation and wellness. Participants engaged with hands-on activities such as mindfulness spaces, calming sensory areas, and guided breathing stations, each tailored to help reduce tension and encourage healthy coping strategies. The event also featured lunch and an educational video that highlighted practical stress management techniques and explained the physical and emotional impact of stress on overall well-being. Together, these resources offered employees valuable tools to support balance, resilience, and self-care in both their professional and personal lives. Page 31 of 55 HHS extern Andria Davis coordinated a Community Workshop on Perimenopause and Menopause. This educational workshop, led by a board‑certified physician, offered community members an informative and supportive space to learn about the effects and symptoms associated with these transitional stages. The session covered the wide‑ranging impact of perimenopause and menopause on both mental and physical health, while also outlining available treatment options to help individuals navigate this phase with confidence and clarity. Following the presentation, participants were invited to unwind with a soothing sound bath meditation session, providing a calming and restorative conclusion to the workshop. Sixteen people attended the workshop. HHS staff attended the Park District’s Older Adult Open House event, offering valuable health and wellness support to community members. Throughout the event, staff provided free blood pressure screenings and shared information on a wide range of services, including mental health resources, physical health programs, memory classes, and the department’s Dementia Friendly Initiative. Their presence helped raise awareness of available supports and strengthened connections with older adults seeking tools to maintain their well‑being and independence. HHS staff participated in the Hoffman Estates High School Community Wellness Fair, engaging with students and staff to promote local health and support services. At the event, staff distributed information on available programs, mental health resources, and options for accessing low‑cost physical health services. Their presence helped increase awareness of the department’s offerings and encouraged community members to connect with services that support overall well‑being. HHS hosted nursing students from Elmhurst University as part of a six‑week experiential learning rotation. During their time with the department, students assisted at various health clinics, gaining hands‑on public health experience while supporting essential community services. In addition to clinic work, each student completed a project connected to the Dementia Friendly Initiative, contributing fresh perspectives and helping to advance the department’s ongoing efforts to support residents living with dementia and their caregivers. The partnership offered valuable real‑world training for the students and meaningful support for HHS programs. Page 32 of 55 Mental and Physical Health Services Health and Human Services provides quality preventative health services to the community. Preventing serious diseases before they happen is one of the most important things you can do to protect your health. Preventive health encompasses a set of health services meant to screen and possibly identify health issues before symptoms develop. Preventive healthcare can help you live a longer, healthier life. In April, nursing staff provided 57 infant and children’s vaccinations and 1 adult vaccination. Through these vaccinations, a total of 110 child and 3 adult antigens were administered. Two hundred twenty-two (222) preventative screenings were completed which include blood pressure (99), and pulse screenings (26), blood sugar (23), Hemoglobin (18), CardioChek (9), TB (6), Tanita (17) and A1C (7) tests. Nursing staff provided Bone Density clinics for the community. Seventeen (17) bone density screenings were completed. Nursing staff provided 45 hours of consultation during the month of April. Vision and Hearing Screenings were conducted to screen pre-school age children. These screenings assist with identifying difficulties in vision and hearing and utilize developmentally appropriate techniques to screen children and identify any necessary referral or follow-up. During April, 117 vision and hearing screenings were completed. Health and Human Services provides both in‑person therapy and telehealth psychotherapy services to community members and Village employees, recognizing the essential role mental health care plays in overall well‑being and quality of life. These services offer vital support for individuals experiencing mental health challenges, helping them navigate crises, build resilience, and develop effective coping strategies. Access to timely mental health care can prevent concerns from escalating and reduce the risk of long‑term negative impacts on individuals, families, and the broader community. Additionally, mental health services promote awareness and understanding, helping to reduce stigma and encourage people to seek help when needed. By investing in mental health, we strengthen our community, foster inclusivity, and create an environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. During the month of March, clinical psychology staff served 119 clients and provided 314 hours of individual counseling, 8 hours of couples therapy, 4 hours of family counseling, 8 hours of group therapy, 8 clinical intakes and 27 hours of crisis counseling. In addition, therapy interns provided 16 hours of psychological assessment. Charlie the Therapy Dog sat in on 26 therapy sessions during the month of April. During these sessions, Charlie provides support and helps reduce anxiety and distress by interacting with Page 33 of 55 clients. Charlie assists at health clinics for residents who are experiencing anxiety while receiving vaccinations and health screenings. Therapy services address a variety of mental health concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, family dynamics and conflict, communication, and relational difficulties. All services are offered on a sliding scale and are accessible to all residents. Community Health Resources Community Lending Closet The Health and Human Services Community Lending Closet provides medical equipment to Hoffman Estates residents as an essential part of the Village’s commitment to health, independence, and neighbor-to-neighbor support. By offering items like wheelchairs, walkers, canes, crutches, knee scooters and assistive devices at low cost, the lending closet helps residents recover safely at home, reduce out‑of‑pocket expenses, and access equipment quickly during times of need. This shared resource not only eases financial and logistical burdens for families, but also strengthens community connections by ensuring that all residents, regardless of income or circumstance, can maintain dignity, mobility, and wellbeing. During the month of April, 4 items were loaned to Village residents. Sharps Recycling Program Sharps recycling programs are vital for safeguarding public health and the environment. These programs ensure the safe disposal of needles, syringes, and other medical sharps, preventing injuries and the spread of infections. When improperly discarded, sharps pose a significant risk to sanitation workers, community members, and wildlife. By implementing sharps recycling programs, communities can reduce needle-stick injuries and the transmission of bloodborne diseases. The sharps recycling program promotes environmental sustainability by preventing sharps from ending up in landfills or contaminating water sources. Health and Human Services offers sharps recycling on the first Wednesday of each month. During the month of April, 85 pounds of sharps were collected. Page 34 of 55 Emergency Assistance Programs Emergency assistance programs are crucial in providing immediate support to individuals and communities affected by unexpected crises, such as health emergencies and economic hardships. These programs help stabilize vulnerable populations by ensuring access to basic needs like food, shelter, utilities and medical care. By offering timely intervention, emergency assistance programs mitigate the long-term impact of crises, reduce suffering, and promote quicker recovery. They also play a vital role in preserving human dignity and fostering resilience, enabling individuals to rebuild their lives and communities with a sense of hope and security. Salvation Army Assistance Program HHS continues to be a volunteer service extension site for the Salvation Army program. Through this program, HHS provides Salvation Army Emergency Assistance services to Hoffman Estates’ residents in need. This fund provides limited financial support to families who show a need due to an unexpected emergency (i.e. insufficient funds for rent or past due utility bill). Staff meets with each client for approximately 30 minutes to assess the need for additional services and/or referrals. During the month of April, 2 residents were assisted through the Salvation Army program. Nicor Gas Sharing Program HHS is a designated site for individuals to apply for the Nicor Gas Sharing program. The program provides payment assistance with gas bills for those who qualify and meet income requirements. During the month of April, no residents were assisted.

I have been working with Facilities and IT to improve some of the AV capabilities, room design, and general updates to our Emergency Operations Center (EOC). I’m looking forward to showcasing some of these changes during next month’s PD Open House. This month, we developed a separate room dedicated for village leadership and public safety leadership to strategize with a large table map. This map will be laminated to be used repeatedly with dry-erase markers and will have a camera above to be projected into the EOC to be shared with the entire group when needed. I have also created an area dedicated to five EOC laptops that run all EOC screens. Each laptop can screenshare/broadcast what is requested by the EOC from one central location. This could include live tv, PD body cam footage, drone footage, weather radar, 911 CAD, Excel spreadsheets, etc. In previous years, the EOC laptops were scattered throughout the EOC pods and not utilized as frequently. This will allow myself or the IT department to adjust each screen quickly as needed. These changes are all due to the support from Police Chief Kasia Cawley to allow our EOC to be a dedicated room rather than a multi-purpose training room. This has allowed a more permanent structure to be created, dedicated locations for laptops and office supplies, and the rearrangement of breakout rooms. It also expands the type of updates that can be done to the EOC to keep it in a “ready state” instead of focusing on keeping it available for training use. Training can still be hosted in the EOC if the primary PD Training Room is unavailable. This room has some unique challenges, as we have simply outgrown the original EOC workflow structure that was originally intended when the Police Station was built. A decade ago, our EOC was meant to be a room for 6-8 people to run an emergency, had a U-shape desk formation, and only had 3 screens to use. As our village has grown, so has the need to have more experienced EOC staff, a larger workspace and additional AV capabilities available for situational awareness. We currently have 3 large pods of workspace in our EOC to include: Operations, Logistics, Planning, Finance, Public Information Officer and Management that supports upwards of 20 people. Page 39 of 55  April 2026 EMA Team: This month’s EMA team meeting was training on Disaster History and included a few updates to the group for this spring. We are beginning our scheduling for the Northwest Fourth Fest and parade in July. I have also scheduled an EMA Team traffic training for May at the Now Arena. This training requires a lot of participants, so I have extended invitations to our Police Department Explorers, the Hanover Township Emergency Services team and the Mount Prospect CERT team. This training teaches volunteers, auxiliary officers and cadets to observe traffic flow, do commands, signaling and to communicate through radios for additional assistance from the Police Department. I host this training annually prior to the Northwest Fourth Fest to make sure the team is ready for the Fourth of July festivities. Our EMA team participates each year for both the parade and fireworks providing traffic assistance and this training helps ensure continuity for traffic assistance. Outlook: Next month, I will start preparations for the Police Department’s Open House in May. I plan to set up our Emergency Operations Center to simulate a village response to a tornado and showcase some of our capabilities to village residents during their Station Tour. I will also be passing out EMA Team recruitment information. Northwest Fourth Fest and Parade planning has begun and will continue through June. Sarah Kyle, M.S.
