In my regular practice, I oversee a team of social workers and community health workers as we bring quality group programs to the community of the West Side of Chicago in balance and fall prevention, chronic condition management, pain management, cancer survivorship, and emotional wellness.

In 2020, I co-published this report with the Rush Center for Excellence in Aging and Center for Community Health Equity, about undocumented older adults-- research that inspired the HBIA and HBIS Medicaid lookalike bills in Illinois! aging.rush.edu/wp-content/u...
