ABOUT THE TOGETHER SUMMIT
The Together Summit was held on January 24, 2017 at the College of Lake County in Grayslake. Over 200 Lake County leaders gathered to focus on learning about and discussing how to collectively improve the health and quality of life of all Lake County residents.
​​
Those who attended the Together Summit also learned how public health initiatives can have economic benefits for Lake County communities. An opening and closing question posed to Summit participants by Health Department Executive Director, Mark Pfister, was “What will it take for Lake County, Illinois to become one of the healthiest places in the country in which to live, work and play?"
​
Please Note: The Together Summit is not the Lake County Leaders Summit, which is hosted by Chairman Aaron Lawlor and the Lake County Board annually.
