Elmhurst Hospital hosted a backto
school health event for its pediatric
patients and their families on Wednesday,

wear a mask and how to best sanitize their
hands to prevent the spread of COVID-
19. Free backpacks and other school supplies
were handed out to children preparing
to head back to school in the fall.
In addition to the school supplies,
around 200 families were also off ered

school students are expected to return to
