Issued the following announcement on Sept. 7
The Highland Park Chamber of Commerce is proud to host a community-wide discussion on "The State of Healthcare" with our guest speakers:

That was never more evident than what we experienced in our communities over the past year. Businesses and all community residents are invited to attend this event that will highlight achievements and lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic and the current state of healthcare.
