</div><p>Normally, patients in Gibbon's condition before the transplant would be in hospice nearing the end of their life, his doctors said on Thursday.</p><p>Gibbon, a pulmonologist from Santa Monica, California, underwent chemotherapy, radiation and immunotherapy at a California hospital last year after his diagnosis. He ended up in the intensive care unit and learned that the immunotherapy had permanently destroyed his lungs and irreparably damaged his liver.</p><p>“As a pulmonologist, I never imagined I’d ever need a lung transplant — let alone for lung cancer,” Gibbon said. Pulmonology is the medical specialty focused on the respiratory system.</p><p>A first-of-its-kind program at Northwestern became Gibbon's only chance at survival. He came to Chicago in September and he got his new lungs and liver from the same donor.</p><p>The program, called Double Lung Replacement and Multidisciplinary Care, or DREAM, was established at Northwestern to help patients who have advanced lung cancer and don't respond to the usual treatments.</p><p>"To our knowledge, this is the first known case in the nation where a patient with advanced lung cancer has successfully received a combined lung-liver transplant,” said Dr. Ankit Bharat, who performed Gibbon's lung transplant and is the chief of thoracic surgery and director of the Northwestern Medicine Canning Thoracic Institute.</p><p>“While my doctors in California had done everything they could," Gibbon said, "we knew there was only one place in the entire country that could give me a fighting chance, and after speaking with Dr. Bharat, I could see the light at the end of the tunnel.”</p><div class="Enhancement" data-align-center>

</div><p>Gibbon, originally from Cape Town, South Africa, worked for 33 years at his private practice in Santa Monica until his recent hospitalization. Last March, Gibbon started coughing and losing weight — a chest X-ray later confirmed he had a cancerous mass on his lungs.</p><p>After extensive and aggressive cancer treatments, Gibbon ended up in the ICU last July at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center with septic shock, pneumonia and multiple organ failure.</p><p>He was transported to Chicago on Sept. 10 and waited 12 days on the transplant list from his ICU bed at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Shortly before midnight on Sept. 26, Gibbon got his lungs. He got his new liver in the early hours on Sept. 27.</p><p>"This [double transplant] was just off the charts, never been done before. But the most important thing was we had the confidence we could do it," said Dr. Satish Nadig, the transplant surgeon who performed Gibbon's liver transplant and director of the Northwestern Medicine Comprehensive Transplant Center.</p><p>Bharat and Nadig spent 10 hours working together on the procedure. While his cancer-ridden lungs were replaced first, Gibbon's new liver was kept alive for 17 hours outside the body in a "liver in a box," also called liver perfusion. The box pumped warm blood through the organ, which also allowed his doctors to make sure the liver was suitable for transplant.</p><p>The Canning Thoracic Institute has performed over 30 lung transplants under the DREAM program, including for several patients with stage four lung cancer and one whose cancer spread from another organ to the lungs.</p><div class="Enhancement" data-align-center>

<p>When a patient complained to Dr. Jennifer Lim of blurry vision in August 2017, the ophthalmologist had a hunch the symptoms might have something to do with the eclipse that had occurred a few days earlier.</p><p>Lim asked the patient if they'd looked at the sun during the eclipse without protection. They confirmed Lim's suspicions, explaining that they thought it was safe because they were wearing sunglasses and the sun was partially obscured.</p><p>"That's not enough, unfortunately," said Lim, who works at University of Illinois Hospital in Chicago's Eye and Ear Infirmary and is the director of retina services at UI Health. </p><p>The person had suffered solar retinopathy, or retinal burns, which can occur within a few seconds of looking at the sun without protection, Lim said. The results are blurred vision, blind spots and even permanent vision loss.</p><p>With sky-gazers across North America <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/2024/03/13/solar-eclipse-nasa-adler-chicago-carbondale-moon-space-science-environment-path-of-totality" target="_blank" >gearing up for another solar eclipse</a> on April 8, Lim and other eye experts advised observers to avoid the risk of long-term damage by wearing approved eclipse sunglasses.</p><div class="Enhancement" data-align-center>

</div><p>The American Astronomical Society <a class="Link" href="https://aas.org/press/american-astronomical-society-offers-warnings-reassurances-eclipse-glasses" target="_blank" >has a list of approved providers</a> that sell eclipse watching glasses that are tested to meet safety standards, known as ISO 12312-2. These glasses contain filters many times darker than sunglasses that block nearly all light.</p><p>"Bottom line: Wear eye protection, and make sure that that protection that you're using has a solar filter," Lim said, cautioning that a partial eclipse doesn't reduce the risk of damage.</p><p>Everyone outside of the eclipse's narrow path of totality — in which the moon appears to block 100% of the sun — will experience a partial eclipse next month, including in the Chicago area, starting around 12:50 p.m on April 8.</p><p>The North American path of totality begins over the Pacific coast of Mexico and then moves into Texas and 12 other states. One of those states is Illinois, but only the southern part of the state. But parts of northern Indiana, including Indianapolis, will also be in the path of totality.</p><p>The only circumstance where it is safe to take a brief peek at the eclipse without aids is within the path of totality as the moon completely obscures the sun, revealing the sun's corona, or the outermost part of the sun's atmosphere. The corona is typically difficult to see because of the brightness of the sun's surface.</p><p><a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/2024/03/13/solar-eclipse-nasa-adler-chicago-carbondale-moon-space-science-environment-path-of-totality" >Downstate Carbondale</a> was under the path of totality in 2017 and will be again in April.

</div><p>Observers who look at the sun without approved eye wear may not realize the damage they are experiencing — even when the sun is mostly blocked during a partial eclipse — because there are no pain receptors in the retina to alert about danger. Lim said symptoms may appear within hours of exposure</p><p>"What happens is the lens in your eye focuses all of that intense energy coming from the sun directly on your retina, much as it would any image and then that causes a photo-toxic reaction in the retina," Lim said. "So basically it puts a burn in your retina, and that burn occurs immediately."</p><p>Lim also cautioned against using the glasses with binoculars or phone cameras, as those devices can magnify the light and bypass the filters. </p><p>Dr. Manjot Gill, retina specialist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, said dozens of people came in with vision issues after the 2017 eclipse. Most of those were false alarms, she said, but a handful did have symptoms that took weeks to clear up despite their injuries not being severe.</p><p>"Unfortunately, there's really no treatment. This can take several weeks to even months to clear up; this is not an overnight thing," Gill said. "In some cases the vision loss can be permanent."</p><p>The Adler Planetarium will hand out safe viewing glasses on the morning of the eclipse while supplies last. Pullman National Historical Park, 610 E. 111th Street, will hold a viewing party from 1 to 3 p.m. on April 8.</p><p>Someone without proper eye wear can safely observe a partial eclipse with a pinhole viewer. Guides on how to make one <a class="Link" href="https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/edu/learn/project/how-to-make-a-pinhole-camera/" target="_blank" >can be found online</a>. Another way is to use a colander to project the shadow of the eclipse onto a white background.</p><p>"It's wonderful that we have this opportunity, but we have to be able to do it safely," Gill said.</p><div class="RelatedList Enhancement" data-module data-align-center>

<div class="PagePromo-description">None of the 23 measles cases in the U.S. between Dec. 1 and Jan. 23 were in Illinois. But the first measles cases since 2019 were reported in Cook County last year, and Illinois has seen an alarming uptick in the number of schools with low vaccination rates.</div>

<p>Alliyah Thomas was 19 when she was taken to Will County Jail in early 2020. She was also four weeks pregnant with her first child.</p><p>She spent the entirety of her pregnancy in custody, where she said she was regularly mistreated and neglected.</p><p>She was often handcuffed, including roughly 20 times when she was shackled to a chain around her belly for court dates and doctor's appointments. She lost 67 pounds during her pregnancy and her daughter was born underweight. She was put in solitary confinement for months despite the state outlawing that practice for pregnant people.</p><p>"They treated me worse while I was pregnant than when I wasn't," Thomas told the Chicago Sun-Times.</p><p>In one incident, she was handcuffed behind her back and shoved hard against an elevator wall by corrections officers. She kept telling them over and over that she was pregnant.</p><p>"But they didn't care," she said.</p><p>Thomas' story is one of many shared in a new report detailing how pregnant and postpartum people are treated while they're in custody in county jails across Illinois.</p><p>The report, published Tuesday by the Women's Justice Institute and the ACLU of Illinois, shared stories from women who were pregnant while in custody and often denied basic medical care, including for prenatal needs like ultrasounds, blood work and regular visits to an OB-GYN.</p><p>Researchers also examined the written policies regarding pregnancy, postpartum care and reproductive health care from the 92 county jails. A quarter of Illinois jails don't have written policies for how to treat pregnant detainees, the report found.</p><p>"There's very little known about people who give birth or who are pregnant or postpartum in the county jails," said Alexis Mansfield, one of the study's authors and a senior adviser at the Women’s Justice Institute.</p><div class="RelatedList Enhancement" data-module data-align-center>

<p>Many of the women, including Thomas, said they didn't get prenatal vitamins or enough food. Some were regularly ignored by correctional officers when they experienced more serious symptoms, like bleeding and severe cramping. Others had high-risk pregnancies while incarcerated, yet they rarely saw a specialist and later had life-threatening births.</p><p>But the hardest experience for most was being separated from their babies immediately after giving birth.</p><p>"Being pregnant in jail was super hard, but the worst part came when I had to leave my baby girl and go back," said Thomas, who was incarcerated in Will County Jail for armed robbery. After giving birth, she spent the first three years of her daughter's life away.</p><p>"Those postpartum years were the hardest in my life."</p><p>The Will County Sheriff's Department did not respond to a request for comment.</p><h3>‘Jails are fiefdoms’</h3><p>Because men make up the vast majority of people who are incarcerated, many of the health care policies default to men and don't take pregnancy into account, Mansfield said.</p><p>Jails largely act independently, so it's up to each to set and enforce policies and procedures, she said. While the Illinois Department of Corrections has a jail and detention standards unit, which oversees county jails, the department does not have policies on reproductive health, the report said.</p><p>"The reality is that county jails are fiefdoms," Mansfield told the Sun-Times. "There's very little oversight, there's very little information."</p><p>IDOC did not respond to a request for comment.</p><p>"We think of Illinois as a leader in reproductive rights and reproductive justice, and in many ways we are, but this is an area where we still are not doing what we can and should," Mansfield said.</p><p>It's also heavily stigmatized to be pregnant and incarcerated, said Emily Werth, another author on the report and a senior staff attorney with ACLU of Illinois.</p><p>"It's very easy for folks to shut their eyes to the reality of the fact that these are still people, their children are still children," Werth told the Sun-Times.</p><p>Illinois does have some standards for how pregnant people should be treated in detention. In 2000, Illinois became the first state to ban shackling an incarcerated person while they're in labor.</p><p>Then in 2012, the state banned shackling throughout the entire term of a person's pregnancy, but only in Cook County. The Illinois Reproductive Health Act does extend protections to people who are incarcerated.</p><p>But there's more that needs to be done as Illinois has fallen behind other states, Mansfield said. The report recommends the state ban shackling pregnant people in all counties, start collecting data on how many people are in jail and pregnant, and establish a reproductive health and pregnancy in detention task force.</p><p>A bill to ban the use of leg irons and shackles on pregnant people inside Illinois' county jails passed a state House committee Friday. The bill would also require that pregnant and lactating people incarcerated in jails get extra rations of food, and it would allow for electronic ankle bracelets to be removed from them during labor and delivery.</p><h3>‘You can treat people with dignity’</h3><p>For Shawna Jeanguenat, the humiliation of being restrained while she was pregnant hit hardest on the day she found out she was having a baby boy.</p><p>Jeanguenat chronicled her experience of being pregnant inside the Rock Island County Jail in 2019. In an interview with WBEZ, Jeanguenat said she was regularly kept handcuffed throughout her prenatal doctor’s visits, including for the ultrasound when was found out the sex of her baby.</p><p>During that appointment, Jeanguenat said she was cuffed in front of her stomach. The nurse asked the officer escorting her to remove the cuffs, Jeanguenat said.</p><p>“And he said, ‘Well, I don’t have to do that if I don’t want to, and I’m not going to.’ So I had to put my hands above my head while she did the ultrasound, and it was very, very uncomfortable and it was very humiliating.”</p><p>Later, Jeanguenat said there was a time when she had to repeatedly ask the jail guards to take her to the local emergency room because she began bleeding and was in pain. Once there, Jeanguenat said a doctor told her she might have a more serious condition and should see a specialist in Peoria, about 90 minutes away.</p><p>But Jeanguenat said the jail refused because she was “only entitled to the minimum level of care.” The office of Rock Island County Sheriff Darren Hart did not respond to requests for comment about Jeanguenat’s account.</p><p>Jeanguenat eventually gave birth to her son, who celebrates a birthday next month. But her experience of being pregnant in jail is still difficult for her to talk about.</p><p>“They can treat other humans with kindness and still do their jobs,” Jeanguenat said. “I understood that what I did was wrong and that I was in there and I was gonna do time. But you can treat people with dignity.”</p><p>Rock Island County and Will County where Thomas was detained were two of the more than two dozen that did not provide the report’s researchers with any written policies about how to handle pregnant and postpartum detainees in jail custody.</p><p>For the report, researchers requested that all 102 counties share the written policies their jails have related to prenatal and postpartum care.</p><p>The requested policies fell into one of nine categories the report establishes, including prenatal and postpartum care, labor and delivery, lactation, and the use of restraints and solitary confinement.</p><p>Of the 98 that responded, not one county shared written policies that fell under all nine categories. Only 11 counties provided a written policy or other information related to at least seven of the nine categories, and 28 counties provided no written policies. Cook County provided information on four of the nine policy categories.</p><div class="Enhancement" data-align-center>

<p>Chicago health officials announced Monday that residents at a migrant shelter in Pilsen should receive a second dose of the measles vaccine 28 days after the first shot. </p><p>The Chicago Department of Public Health said the new policy was necessary because of the continued increase in measles cases among young children at the Halsted Street shelter. The second dose will help protect preschool children until their immunity to measles is fully developed and will also help stop the spread to other children who haven't received a second dose of the shot. </p><p>The city has reported 26 <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/2024/03/07/chicago-measles-outbreak-public-health-mmr-vaccination-cdc-disease" target="_blank" >measles cases</a>, 19 of which have been in children younger than 5. Most of the cases have been associated with the Pilsen migrant shelter. </p><div class="RelatedList Enhancement" data-module data-align-center>

<p>“While the MMR vaccine is the best protection against the virus, children are at highest risk for contracting breakthrough measles after receiving one dose of the vaccine, especially those less than 5 years old," said CDPH commissioner Olusimbo Ige. "We’re seeing some of these cases at the Halsted shelter, which isn’t surprising. I understand this will be a challenge for families, but we want to do everything to protect young children from contracting measles by ensuring 2 doses of the MMR vaccine.”</p><p>The policy was also extended to include children between 1 and 5 years old, health officials said. </p><p>Families at the shelter with children between ages 1 and 5 are asked to keep them home until 21 days after receiving the second dose of the vaccine, or 21 days after last exposure if they cannot be vaccinated. </p><p>The new policy will affect about 50 children at the shelter, health officials said. All eligible children have already received at least one dose of the vaccine. </p><p>Initial <a class="Link" href="https://www.cdc.gov/measles/symptoms/signs-symptoms.html" target="_blank" >symptoms</a> — such as high fever, cough, runny nose, and red or watery eyes — usually appear within a week or two of exposure to the virus, according to the CDC. A rash can appear three to five days after initial symptoms begin.</p><p>The "highly infectious" virus is <a class="Link" href="https://www.cdc.gov/measles/transmission.html#:~:text=Measles%20is%20so%20contagious%20that,days%20after%20the%20rash%20appears." target="_blank" >spread</a> through coughing, sneezing or contact with an infected person, and the virus can live for up to two hours in the air after an infected person has left a space, according to the CDC. Those with the virus can spread it up to four days before and after a rash appears, and 90% of people without immunity who are exposed to the virus become infected.</p><p>A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention team has been assisting the city in responding to the infections.</p><bsp-listcarousel class="PageListE" data-module data-column-count=4 data-hide-descriptions="true"

<div class="PagePromo-description">None of the 23 measles cases in the U.S. between Dec. 1 and Jan. 23 were in Illinois. But the first measles cases since 2019 were reported in Cook County last year, and Illinois has seen an alarming uptick in the number of schools with low vaccination rates.</div>

<p>Nothing ever made me feel more helpless than watching my parents die in agony from cancer despite having the best medical care available.</p><p>At a young age, I witnessed my father dying in pain from lung cancer and suffering terribly. More recently, my mom contracted pancreatic cancer, and I had her medical power of attorney.</p><p>A couple of weeks before she passed, I was sitting on the edge of her bed. She grabbed my arm and begged me to make sure her health care providers didn't do any medical interventions to keep her alive, like resuscitation, that would prolong her suffering.</p><p>This nightmare experience seared this unforgettable thought into my head: No one should have to die with that much pain.</p><p>That is why I am the proud lead sponsor of the <a class="Link" href="https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/billstatus.asp?DocNum=3499&GAID=17&GA=103&DocTypeID=SB&LegID=153199&SessionID=112" target="_blank" >End-of-Life Options for Terminally Ill Patients Act</a>. I recently introduced this legislation that would allow medical aid in dying as an end-of-life care option for mentally capable, terminally ill adults in Illinois, with six months or less to live, to gently end unbearable suffering. It is 100% voluntary for terminally ill people, physicians and pharmacists.</p><div class="RichTextSidebarModule Enhancement" data-module data-align-center><a class="AnchorLink" id="module-080000" name="module-080000"></a>

</div><p>More than 7 of 10 Illinois likely voters (71%) support passing medical aid-in-dying legislation, according to a <a class="Link" href="https://www.compassionandchoices.org/docs/default-source/illinois/baseline-illinois-medical-aid-in-dying-questions-feb-2023-(1).pdf" target="_blank" >2023 Impact Research poll</a>. This majority support spans the demographic, political, racial and religious spectrums, including 73% of voters with a disability, 83% of Latino voters, 69% of Catholic voters and half of Republican voters.

The legislation’s safeguards are especially important to me since I have lived with a disability for 35 years: multiple sclerosis.</p><p>I care deeply that our health care systems and insurance companies do not discriminate against people with disabilities or who can otherwise be discounted. This legislation ensures there would be no abuse or coercion by physicians, family members or other interested parties.</p><div class="Enhancement" data-align-center>

</div><p>These multiple safeguards explain why 6 out of 10 Illinois physicians (62%) <i>personally</i> would want the option of medical aid in dying if they become terminally ill, while only one 1 of 5 (20%) would not want it, according to a 2021 <a class="Link" href="https://www.compassionandchoices.org/docs/default-source/illinois/il_physician_survey_results_narrative.pdf?sfvrsn=55d83a21_1" target="_blank" >Medscape/WedMD poll</a>. There is ample proof these safeguards work.</p><p>In fact, there has not been one substantiated case of abuse or coercion in the 25 years since medical aid in dying <a class="Link" href="https://www.oregon.gov/oha/PH/PROVIDERPARTNERRESOURCES/EVALUATIONRESEARCH/DEATHWITHDIGNITYACT/Pages/ar-index.aspx" target="_blank" >first became available in Oregon</a>.

The most relevant data — namely, those relating to the traditional and more contemporary concerns that opponents of legalization have expressed — do not support and, in fact, dispel the concerns of opponents.”</p><p>Medical aid-in-dying legislation has led to improvements in hospice care in <a class="Link" href="https://www.latimes.com/health/la-me-end-of-life-care-20170821-htmlstory.html" target="_blank" >California,</a> <a class="Link" href="https://www.compassionandchoices.org/docs/default-source/default-document-library/12.-lessons-from-oregon-in-embracing-complexity-in-end-of-life-care.pdf?sfvrsn=7f02bdc_1" target="_blank" >Oregon</a> and <a class="Link" href="https://www.westhawaiitoday.com/2020/07/05/hawaii-news/big-isle-doctor-says-having-an-aid-in-dying-option-improves-end-of-life-care/" target="_blank" >Hawaii</a>.

They decide to stop treating their disease because it is incurable.</p><p>I only wish my mother and father had the option of medical aid in dying so they didn’t have to suffer needlessly when death was already at their doorstep. To honor their memory, I want to ensure all Illinoisans have the option to decide for themselves when they have suffered enough at the end of life so they can die peacefully, at home, surrounded by their loved ones.</p><p>For these reasons, I hope all of my colleagues will join me in supporting this compassionate legislation.</p><p><i>Sen.

<p>A young resident of the largest shelter for newly arrived migrants in Chicago was recently diagnosed with measles, pushing our rightfully concerned city into action.</p><p>Within 16 hours, the Chicago Department of Public Health brought together a team of vaccinators, screeners and health care providers to verify the vaccine status of the nearly 1,900 shelter residents and vaccinate those without proof of vaccination. Nearly all the shelter residents were vaccinated by the end of the weekend.</p><p>University of Illinois Chicago’s outbreak response team, which we co-lead, is part of the response. As more cases emerge, our team and others are fanning out across the city to ensure the <a class="Link" href="https://www.chicago.gov/city/en/sites/texas-new-arrivals/home/Dashboard.html" target="_blank" >11,000-plus</a> newest members of our community are vaccinated.</p><p>Now is the time to put measures in place to prevent, not just react, to outbreaks like this.</p><p>The people we encounter are willing to get vaccinated. Most adults report they were vaccinated already but had not brought vaccine cards when they migrated north. Parents are grateful that their children are receiving vaccines that will protect their health.</p><div class="RichTextSidebarModule Enhancement" data-module data-align-center><a class="AnchorLink" id="module-180000" name="module-180000"></a>

</div><p>The MMR vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella is a real workhorse. <a class="Link" href="https://www.si.edu/spotlight/antibody-initiative/mmr" target="_blank" >Developed in 1971</a>, the two doses given at 12 to 15 months of age and again at age 4 to 6 years, provide high levels of lifetime immunity for a lifetime against these diseases that used to cause serious illness and death.</p><p>Worldwide, vaccination with measles has averted <a class="Link" href="https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/72/wr/mm7245a2.htm" target="_blank" >over 57 million deaths </a>in the past two decades. The historic low in global child mortality announced this week by the <a class="Link" href="https://childmortality.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/UNIGME-2023-Child-Mortality-Report.pdf" target="_blank" >United Nations Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation</a> is partially due to the work of this vaccine, as well as others.</p><p>In 2000, the U.S. <a class="Link" href="https://www.si.edu/spotlight/antibody-initiative/mmr" target="_blank" >eliminated measles</a>, for a brief time. To reach that goal again, we need to achieve 95% vaccine coverage so those of us who are vaccinated provide herd immunity for those too young to get vaccinated or those rare folks with a serious illness that renders vaccines ineffective.</p><p>In the U.S., the <a class="Link" href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/2769677" target="_blank" >majority of unvaccinated people</a> are those who refuse to get vaccinated due to their personal beliefs, leaving room for the virus to take hold and spread to those who are not yet fully vaccinated. <a class="Link" href="https://www.cdc.gov/measles/cases-outbreaks.html" target="_blank" >According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention</a>, most cases in the U.S. are a result of international travel by unvaccinated people who bring it home. And, there is always a potential for further spread in pockets of unvaccinated people here.</p><p>The COVID-19 global pandemic resulted in many <a class="Link" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10010823/" target="_blank" >missing vaccine doses</a> due to a lack of accessible care and interruptions in vaccine distribution. At the end of 2022, the <a class="Link" href="https://www.who.int/news/item/23-11-2022-nearly-40-million-children-are-dangerously-susceptible-to-growing-measles-threat" target="_blank" >World Health Organization</a> estimated that 40 million children worldwide had missed a dose of the measles vaccine. We are still working here and abroad to catch up to our pre-pandemic rates.</p><p>Outside the U.S., political instability, economic insecurity and corruption negatively impact health infrastructure, resulting in lower vaccination rates. Venezuela, where most of the migrants come from, used to have relatively high vaccination rates but, due to instability, <a class="Link" href="https://apnews.com/article/covid-health-venezuela-public-caribbean-93dced67f765654da6d616b534377566" target="_blank" >vaccination rates have plummeted</a> and <a class="Link" href="https://www.who.int/data/gho/data/indicators/indicator-details/GHO/measles---number-of-reported-cases" target="_blank" >measles cases have increased</a>. The same forces pushing people to come to the U.S. in search of a better life have resulted in the new arrivals being left susceptible to contracting measles during this outbreak.</p><p>While the causes leading to reduced vaccination rates are a complex mix of individual beliefs and systemic failures, and the results severe — including an outbreak of a serious disease — we know what to do to prevent future outbreaks. We need to offer vaccines to all new arrivals to the U.S. at ports of entry. And we need to convince those already living here to join us to achieve 95% vaccination rates and get our measles-free status again.</p><p><i>Rebecca Singer is a registered nurse and clinical assistant professor at University of Illinois Chicago College of Nursing and a Public Voices fellow of </i><a class="Link" href="https://www.theopedproject.org/" target="_blank" ><i>The OpEd Project</i></a><i>.

<p>Isabelle Dizon describes her transition to college as “messy.” </p><p>She went from a public high school to a private art school that was far less diverse and cost too much, she said. The expense was stressful, and she couldn’t connect with her new classmates, most who were more well off. Navigating the social scene over Zoom and from behind masks at the height of the pandemic made her feel even more disconnected.</p><p>So she left, worked at Target for a year, then transferred to the University of Illinois Chicago. That’s when she recognized she needed help processing the change and upheaval she’d experienced.</p><p>Every syllabus for every class Dizon took that first semester listed the campus counseling center as a resource. The center offers short-term therapy paid for by a health service fee charged to every student. So Dizon knew just where to turn to get the help she needed — or so she thought.</p><p>“I called them a couple times, and it all went to voicemail,” said Dizon, now a junior graphic design major. “I also emailed. There was never a response. It was kind of like, ‘Well, you’re all on your own,’ and ‘You have to be tough.’ … I just wish they picked up.”</p><p>During the 2022-2023 school year, researchers from the Healthy Minds Network asked more than 76,000 college students across the country about their mental health. Asian and Asian American students like Dizon, whose parents are Filipino, were the least likely to describe their mental well-being as positive. But they were also the least likely to have gotten treatment in the previous year.</p><div class="Enhancement" data-align-center>

</div><p>Alyson Kung, assistant director of UIC's Asian American Resource and Cultural Center, said there is a stigma in some students’ communities, especially those of color and from immigrant backgrounds, regarding mental health challenges and treatment. </p><p>Dizon said she didn't want to go to her family doctor for help because she worried her parents would find out.</p><p>But Kung said the main obstacle isn't any stigma or fear — it’s <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/2022/5/11/23066889/college-students-mental-health-crisis-suicide-survey-pandemic-s-e-cupp-column" >college students’ lack of access to mental health treatment</a>.</p><p>“UIC, for a while, was continuing to expand and accept more and more students, which I think is great, on one hand,” said Kung, who graduated from the university more than a decade ago. “But the amount of resources was not expanding with the rate of the students that we were accepting.”</p><p>The result, Kung said, is that students who are struggling often come to her because they don’t know where else to go for help.</p><p>“I’m sort of a stopgap measure for some of these things, where the students will come to me to tell me what’s going on,” Kung said. “There’s only so much I can do as a non-mental health professional.”</p><p>Kung created a list of off-campus mental health resources, including therapists, to share with students. But she said many don't have insurance or financial resources to pay for private treatment — or might not have time to find a provider who is a good fit because they’re working and taking care of family members.</p><p>“It’s difficult to have this extra burden of navigating this system,” Kung said. “It feels purposefully difficult.”</p><h3>Shortage of providers a challenge, UIC says</h3><p>UIC administrators said the counseling center employs 24 providers, including several temporary trainees, to serve more than 22,000 undergraduate and 7,000 graduate students. Faculty and staff members say there are waitlists just to get an intake session.</p><p>Raphael Florestal-Kevelier, UIC’s first assistant vice chancellor for student health and wellness, said he hopes to bring the number of providers up to 27 by the start of the fall semester, bringing the ratio down to 1,074 students for every one mental health provider. Hiring is tough because there is a shortage of behavioral health providers in Illinois, especially providers of color.</p><p>Florestal-Kevelier said he's working to remove a doctoral requirement for some positions in the counseling center to open the candidate pool to providers who stopped at a master’s degree.</p><p>“We have such a diverse student population with diverse needs, and some students might be coming to us about relationship concerns,” he said. “It would be good for us to have a licensed family and marriage therapist on a team, and that doesn’t particularly require a clinical or counseling psychology doctoral degree.”</p><p>UIC officials promised $4 million over six years to improve mental health resources for students after faculty members brought the issue to the bargaining table during a strike in early 2023. Professors argued that their students’ unaddressed mental health needs had increased their workload.</p><p>Florestal-Kevelier said some of the funds promised by the university were used to hire two more counselors and to make provider pay more equitable and increase retention. But he said there's more work to be done to support student well-being at UIC and at campuses across the state.</p><div class="Enhancement" data-align-center>

</div><p></p><h3>Unfunded mandate to help</h3><p>In 2019, after years of rising rates of depression and anxiety among college students, Illinois lawmakers passed the Mental Health Early Action on Campus Act. The law requires public university campuses to lower their clinician-to-student ratio and beef up their mental health resources through peer-support networks and partnerships with off-campus providers.</p><p>But the state has yet to provide the $22.2 million a year that government forecasters say colleges need to implement the mandate. State leaders appropriated $12.6 million for the current year, and Gov. J.B. Pritzker proposed spending just $4 million on campus mental health in next year’s budget.</p><p>“We’ve heard from a lot of schools that they often felt like they were coming up short, like they weren’t really faithfully executing the law, that it was not becoming a priority for folks simply because of the lack of money and the lack of resources behind it,” said Lily Rocha, associate vice president of policy at NAMI Chicago, a mental health advocacy nonprofit. “It’s a good start, but it’s not really enough to keep going. We fear that ultimately it will be the students who will be impacted negatively by a lack of funding or a lapse of funding.”</p><div class="Enhancement" data-align-center>

<p>Two more cases of measles were reported this week in Chicago, bringing the city’s current outbreak to 15 total cases.</p><p>The newest cases were both in children ages 4 or younger. The Chicago Department of Public Health reported them Monday.</p><p>Many of the cases in the <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/2024/03/07/chicago-measles-outbreak-public-health-mmr-vaccination-cdc-disease" target="_blank" >outbreak</a> were identified at a migrant shelter in Pilsen, the same facility where a boy died and other children were hospitalized with illnesses amid complaints of unsanitary and overcrowded conditions in December.</p><p>The Illinois Department of Public Health has provided rooms at a nearby hotel to quarantine people from the migrant shelter who have been exposed to measles but have not shown symptoms.</p><p>Last week, two Chicago Public Schools students at Philip D. Armour Elementary School in Bridgeport and Cooper Dual Language Elementary Academy in Pilsen were among a handful of additional cases.</p><div class="RelatedList Enhancement" data-module data-align-center>

<p>More than half of the cases have been in children 4 years or younger, while about a third were in adults 18 to 49 years old, according to the city.</p><p>The outbreak this month comprised the first measles cases reported in Chicago since 2019.</p><p>Cases of the disease have been on the rise across the country since late <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/2023/10/13/23916644/illinois-reports-first-measles-case-in-4-years" target="_blank" >last year</a>.

Symptoms include rash, high fever, cough, runny nose, and red, watery eyes, health officials said. Symptoms can take up to 21 days to appear after exposure.</p><p>Health officials recommend <a class="Link" href="https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/measles/index.html" target="_blank" >vaccination</a> against measles to combat the illness.</p><bsp-listcarousel class="PageListE" data-module data-column-count=4 data-hide-descriptions="true"

<p>Two out of three very young children in Chicago were exposed to at least trace amounts of lead in their home tap water, a study found, highlighting the need for City Hall to speed up replacements of brain-damaging lead pipes.</p><p>A study by Johns Hopkins and Stanford researchers, published Monday in the medical journal JAMA Pediatrics, used artificial intelligence to estimate the extent of exposure of children across the city to water from home faucets containing lead.</p><p>In all, 129,000 children, 68% of those 5 or younger had lead in their home drinking water, the study found.</p><p>Young children in Black and Latino communities were potentially exposed at even higher rates, according to the study, which looked at household testing data from 2016 to last fall. The researchers used machine learning and simulation to estimate the number of children affected.</p><p>“These findings indicate that childhood lead exposure is widespread in Chicago,” the researchers wrote.</p><p>Chicago has more lead service lines — <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/2023/11/3/23944959/lead-water-line-replacement-chicago-biden-loan" >more than 400,000 </a>— than any other city in the country.</p><p>Mayor Brandon Johnson and former Mayor Lori <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/2022/12/2/23488902/lead-water-service-line-replacement-chicago" >Lightfoot pledged</a> to tackle the problem, but the job is expected to take decades to complete. And even targeted programs, including work toward a <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/2024/1/25/24050549/lead-water-pipes-threaten-child-brains-day-care-priority" >plan to remove harmful lead lines in home day care centers</a>, is moving slowly.</p><p>The city responded by saying that its water is in compliance with federal standards.</p><p>“Chicago’s water continues to meet and exceed all standards set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,” the city said in a statement. “There is always more to be done and we will continuously work towards a future where no child in Chicago is at risk of lead poisoning.”</p><p>The study looked at any trace of lead from 1 part per billion, about a half teaspoon of water in an Olympic-size swimming pool. The EPA will sound the alarm on lead levels in water when they are about 15 times that level.</p><p>Benjamin Huynh, an assistant professor of environmental health and engineering at Johns Hopkins and lead author of the study, doesn’t dispute that the city is within EPA guidelines.</p><p>“An action level set by EPA is not meant to be used as individual guidance,” Huynh said, noting that lead can cause serious developmental and neurological harm to children.</p><p>A health and environmental advocate agreed and said any research emphasizing the impact of lead on young children should stir politicians to act.</p><p>“Anytime children are involved, it points to the urgency,” said Chakena Perry, senior policy advocate for environmental health at the Natural Resources Defense Council.</p><p>Despite billions of dollars in federal resources to swap out lead lines, Chicago has struggled to pay for the replacements.</p><p>Even after President Joe Biden declared the country would be free of lead pipes in a decade, <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/2023/11/30/23983127/biden-orders-lead-water-service-lines-chicago" >Chicago was given a pass</a> and has at least 40 years to complete the job.<br></p>
