Getting ready to head out to Culver’s in Woodstock from noon to 2 p.m., but first I need to water the plants in the greenhouse. Too bad they can’t have frozen custard from Culver’s!

We loved hosting Huntley High School Medical Academy students at McHenry County College last Friday for a day of hands-on healthcare exploration! 🩺🚑

Students participated in interactive sessions across EMS, Fire Science, Nursing, Radiology, Sonography, Respiratory Therapy, Career Sparks, and the University Center—getting a real look at exciting career pathways.

Thanks to all who made it a great day—and to the students for bringing the energy!
