Community Outreach Worker

A native Chicagoan, Alice fell in love with community outreach when she was only a teen. The youngest of 10 children, she got a job through the City of Chicago Summer Youth Employment program working at a local youth service agency, where she was part of a team reaching out to other teens and encouraging them to avoid unhealthy behaviors. Through that experience, as well as challenges her family faced, Alice developed a deep enthusiasm for sharing resources and information to make a difference in the lives of others.

Alice was the first in her family to obtain a Master’s Degree and has wide-ranging experience working in the non-profit and healthcare sectors. In her previous job, she helped homeowners experiencing foreclosure to avoid losing their homes. During her time there, Alice uncovered a large-scale fraud operation involving individuals deeding homes in foreclosure to themselves. She diligently followed up with law enforcement, elected officials, and HUD and advocated on behalf of the property owners. After a lengthy investigation, the State’s Attorney’s Office charged and convicted four people with fraud, and the victims were able to secure title to their homes. In response, Cook County changed the way property deeds are recorded, making homeowners less vulnerable to this type of theft.

At Cook County Health, as part of the Outreach team, Alice helps people connect with our health system and CountyCare so they can access the care they need. A graduate of the CCH Leadership Development Institute, she is devoted to serving our patients and investing in the communities where our clinics are located. She even advocated for sponsorship of a local youth baseball program in the Ford Heights community as a way for youth there to build confidence, be involved in team building and demonstrate Cottage Grove Health Center’s investment in the community.

Alice is committed to engaging diverse communities and is passionate about sharing Cook County Health’s motto, “We Bring Care to the Community”.
