In this episode, we will hear from one of the HCA Fellows teams who partnered with Sunshine Enterprises. This team developed a logic model for SE's Community Business Academy (CBA), which is a twelve-session course in basic business planning and management. The overall objective of this project was to provide SE with an analytic tool to document CBA activities and facilitate identifying activities that were not being efficiently tracked. Their logic model aided SE in their ability to accurately monitor how and which CBA activities impact participants' understanding and business performance.

In this episode of Chicagoland, Steve Crano and Kyra Sturgill interview Dr. Allison Arwady, Commissioner of the Chicago Department of Public Health. This interview was recorded in the fall of 2019, months before the Coronavirus pandemic had first surfaced in Wuhan or spread to the United States. Dr. Arwady discusses her path to entering the medical profession and the public health landscape in Chicago. In many ways, Dr. Arwady is the consummate public servant, and her commitment to the City of Chicago and its citizens is readily apparent in this interview.
