11/06/2016 – Connected To Chicago

The Chicago Cub finally have a World Series win and Bill Cameron looks at the reception of the win by public officials including President and Sox fan, Barack Obama, Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel, and Governor Rauner. We then hear highlights from the rally in Grant Park this past Friday. Bill is joined by Lynn Sweet from the Sun-Times, Ray Long of The Chicago Tribune, and Greg Hinz of Crain’s. They ask can’t officials be more like the Cubs? The team gives their predictions for Tuesday’s election. “Nick Gale looks at the opening of the Cook County Health & Hospitals System’s new pilot Community Triage Center. Mayor Rahm Emanuel and other dignentaries cut the ribbon at a ceremnony this week.

The center will provide 24/7 intervention and stabilization services for individuals who are at-risk of detention or hospitalization due to a mental health or substance abuse condition.

The center’s primary services include mental health crisis assessments and stabilization, health assessments, and referrals for treatment, case management and follow-up. This is the first walk-in clinic of its kind in Chicago.

The county health system put $3 million toward opening and running the clinic this year and used a $348,000 planning grant from Otho SA Sprague Memorial Institute to help develop the clinic. ”
