Throughout the month, we provided biofeedback sessions that allowed participants to better understand their stress responses and learn practical strategies to improve their overall wellness. We also hosted a Mental Health Raffle Wheel, which encouraged individuals to take part in self‑care practices and wellness challenges, adding an element of fun and discovery to the month’s events. One of the highlights of the month was a special video featuring Charlie, our beloved therapy dog, who joined employees as they shared the personal routines, habits, and small daily choices they made to care for their mental health. Together, these initiatives created a positive, inclusive environment and helped strengthen our community’s commitment to understanding, supporting, and prioritizing mental well‑being. Maternal mental health remained a central focus for Health and Human Services as we worked to support new mothers during the postpartum period. At our vaccine clinics, Page 14 of 43 HHS extern, Sage Kim, conducted postpartum mental health screenings to help identify signs of anxiety, depression, and other emotional challenges that can arise after childbirth. Mothers also received educational materials on postpartum health, along with a new‑mother gift box filled with helpful items to support their well‑being. In addition, each participant was provided with information about available services and community resources to ensure they had ongoing support beyond the clinic visit. These efforts reinforced our commitment to promoting maternal wellness and connecting families with the care they need during a critical stage of life. This program was supported through the Cook County Healthy Communities Behavioral Health Grant. Sixteen women received screenings during the clinic. Health and Human Services hosted a free community Osteoarthritis Bone and Joint Health Workshop on May 15 for residents at Village Hall. Led by Dr. James Lieber, M.D., of Advocate Medical Group Orthopedics, the workshop provided practical guidance on keeping bones and joints strong, reducing pain, and staying active. Participants had the opportunity to learn evidence‑based strategies, ask questions, and gain a better understanding of how to manage osteoarthritis and support long‑term joint health. This event reflected HHS’s ongoing commitment to providing accessible, informative health education to the community. Twenty-three participants attended the event. Bilingual Clinical Staff Psychologist Dr. Maria Cornejo‑Garcia presented to the Lion’s Club at their monthly meeting, where she highlighted the wide range of services offered by Health and Human Services. During her presentation, Dr. Cornejo‑Garcia discussed both the physical and mental health services available to the community, emphasizing that they are provided at low cost and on a sliding‑scale basis to ensure accessibility for all residents.

During the month of May 10 people attended the workshop. Page 15 of 43 Dementia-Friendly Community Initiative Hoffman Estates is proud to recognize its first business, L&M Financial Services Inc., for completing the Dementia Friendly Establishment Training. This training equips staff with the knowledge to recognize signs of dementia and respond with empathy, patience, and understanding. As part of the program, employees watch an educational video on identifying and appropriately supporting individuals who may be experiencing cognitive challenges. After viewing the training, staff complete a short quiz, and the business is then designated as a Dementia Friendly Partner. Partnering establishments will receive a window cling and plaque to identify them as a Dementia Friendly Partner. This designation signals to residents that the establishment’s team has received specialized training in dementia awareness, helping create a more supportive and inclusive community for all. Health and Human Services nursing staff conducted memory screenings for Hoffman Estates residents as part of Dementia Awareness Week, a national effort focused on raising awareness, reducing stigma, and fostering supportive, inclusive communities for individuals living with cognitive decline. An estimated 7.2 million Americans age 65 and older are living with Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of dementia, making early diagnosis and access to resources especially important for improving quality of life and reducing isolation. In 2025, the Village of Hoffman Estates was designated a Dementia Friendly Community, reaffirming its commitment to supporting residents and their families. In recognition of this commitment, HHS began offering free memory screenings for adults starting in May, providing an important tool for early identification and connection to services. Seven screenings were completed at the clinic. The Memory Minders class, taught by Health and Human Services nursing staff, offers residents a welcoming space to engage in brain‑boosting activities designed to support long‑term cognitive health. Each monthly session features a variety of brain games, memory tools, and practical strategies that participants can use in their daily lives to help maintain mental sharpness. This month, 15 residents attended the class, enjoying both the stimulating exercises and the opportunity to connect with others in the community. Through programs like Memory Minders, HHS continues to promote healthy aging and provide valuable resources that support residents’ overall well‑being. Page 16 of 43 Mental and Physical Health Services May is recognized as National Nurses Appreciation Week, and Health and Human Services proudly celebrated the dedication and compassion of our nursing team. This year, we honored our staff nurses, Cathy Dagian and Gina McCauley, along with our skilled clinic nurses who provide vital services to the community. Their work includes administering immunizations, conducting preventative health screenings, performing vision and hearing tests, and leading the Memory Makers class for residents. Their commitment to promoting health, supporting families, and enhancing the well‑being of our community is deeply appreciated, and we are grateful for the expertise and care they bring to HHS every day. 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 May, nursing staff provided 53 infant and children’s vaccinations and 1 adult vaccination. Through these vaccinations, a total of 110 child and 1 adult antigens were administered. One hundred and fifty-six (156) preventative screenings were completed which include blood pressure (67), and pulse screenings (8), blood sugar (6), Hemoglobin (5), CardioChek (1), TB (7), and Tanita (53) screenings. Nursing staff provided Bone Density clinics for the community. Nine (9) bone density screenings were completed. Nursing staff provided 45 hours of consultation during the month of May. 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 May, 2 vision and hearing re-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 Page 17 of 43 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 May, clinical psychology staff served 123 clients and provided 359 hours of individual counseling, 10 hours of couples therapy, 4 hours of family counseling, 8 hours of group therapy, 7 clinical intakes and 13 hours of crisis counseling. In addition, therapy interns provided 5 hours of psychological assessment. Charlie the Therapy Dog sat in on 23 therapy sessions during the month of May. During these sessions, Charlie provides support and helps reduce anxiety and distress by interacting with 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. Employee Wellness Programming The Employee Wellness Committee started a vegetable garden at Village Hall, creating a shared space that supports wellness for both staff and the community. Community gardens are shown to reduce stress, improve mood, and promote a sense of connection—benefits that are especially valuable for employee mental health. Working with soil, tending plants, and spending time outdoors can provide a calming break in the workday while strengthening teamwork among staff. The produce grown in this garden will be shared with residents who utilize the HHS Food Pantry as well as Village employees, further extending its impact. Employees built and prepared the garden beds themselves and now take turns watering and caring for the plants, making this effort both meaningful and collaborative. Through this initiative, the committee is fostering healthier minds, stronger connections, and a more supportive community. The Employee Wellness Committee launched an eight‑week wellness and fitness challenge using the YuMuuv app, motivating staff to stay active and build healthier habits. Seventy‑four employees are participating in the challenge, either individually or as part of a team, logging exercise minutes and earning wellness points for both physical activity and overall well‑being activities. The program encourages friendly competition, boosts accountability, and helps employees stay engaged in their personal health goals. By making wellness both structured and fun, the challenge supports a positive, energetic workplace and strengthens the culture of health across Page 18 of 43 the organization. The Employee Reading Challenge offers staff a fun and engaging way to connect through books using the Beanstack app, where participants track their reading and take part in monthly themed challenges. With quarterly prize drawings, the program adds an extra layer of excitement while encouraging employees to share recommendations and enjoy meaningful conversations with coworkers. Reading has been shown to reduce stress, strengthen cognitive function, and improve overall mental well‑being, making it a valuable habit for both personal and professional health. By combining wellness, creativity, and community, the Reading Challenge supports a healthier, more connected workplace. 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 May, 6 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 Page 19 of 43 offers sharps recycling on the first Wednesday of each month. During the month of May, 67 pounds of sharps were collected. 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 May, 4 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 May, 1 resident was 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 was able to simulate some of the EOC capabilities during the PD Open House. The Emergency Operations Center simulating an activation for a Tornado. EMA Team members Daryl Jenks and Jim Heyland working the HAM Radio room for the PD Open House. Our HAM Radio Division showcasing their ability to communicate to other HAM radios across the globe. Page 24 of 43  May 2026 This month, I was fortunate to tour the National Weather Service – Chicago office in Romeoville, IL to learn about their forecasting capabilities and additional assets they can provide municipalities, such as plume modeling for hazardous material incidents. The NWS- Chicago office provides critical information to emergency management efforts during our outdoor special event season. In May 2027, the Village of Hoffman Estates will need to showcase all of our efforts of promoting severe weather preparedness and general weather awareness for the Storm Ready renewal process. EMA Team: I coordinated an EMA Team traffic training this month at the Now Arena in preparation for the Northwest Fourth Fest and parade. Our EMA team participates each year for both the parade and fireworks providing traffic assistance and this training helps ensure continuity for traffic assistance. This training requires a lot of participants, so I 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. This training is conducted in the evening, to be able to teach the difficulties of conducting traffic at night. We set up multiple courses to simulate traffic flow, and we also simulated what it felt like for emergency vehicles to pass by while conducting traffic. This curriculum was taught by the Mount Prospect Emergency Manager by using the Lake County Traffic Incident Management System (TIMS) guidelines. Page 25 of 43  May 2026 Emergency Manager of Mount Prospect Jim Miller teaching the group the TIMS methods for traffic assistance. Our EMA team & Cadets listening intently. Community Service Officer Eddie Camacho visited our traffic training. Police Explorer Cadets 2026 Page 26 of 43  May 2026 Outlook: Next month, my focus will be on creating the Event Action Plan (EAP) for the Northwest Fourth Fest and Parade. This document includes staffing information, emergency plans and contingency planning for severe weather, evacuation, active threat, and family reunification plans in the event of a large-scale incident. I will present to village management and leadership from each public safety department a few days prior to the Northwest Fourth fest, so each department is on the same page for a response plan.
