The Healthy Kane 2030 Vision is for the citizens of Kane County to be the healthiest in Illinois.   I believe that through a combination of both personal and social responsibility we have the power to choose the shape of things to come in our community.  Put simply, lack of action on our part will lead to our children and grandchildren having shorter, sicker lives.   Thank you for joining us in our efforts to Make Kane County Fit for Kids.
— Karen McConnaughay,
Chairman, Kane County Board
