CHAIR'S REPORT  
Chair Conroy made the following remarks:  
September is both Suicide Prevention Month and National Recovery Month, so it’s only fitting  
that our new DuPage Crisis Recovery Center opened its doors on September 2nd. In DuPage  
County, we encourage folks to call 988, the suicide and crisis line to seek help 24/7. We have our  
mobile crisis teams to respond in the community and of course, now the CRC is somewhere for  
our residents to go if they are struggling with a mental health or addiction crisis. What a  
valuable resource you have helped us add to the community.  
Apparently, the PGA Tour also thinks the CRC is a game changer. I hope you will join me next  
Tuesday, September 16th at the CRC because the PGA Tour is presenting DuPage Health  
Matters and us with a large check to highlight the Center’s value to the community…our region  
and the nation. One year from this month…in September of 2026, the Presidents Cup will be  
played at Medinah Country Club in DuPage County. As part of the Tour’s presence here, they  
make significant charitable donations. As I’ve said, we believe the CRC can be a model for other  
communities, and I’m so grateful to have the PGA Tour spotlight this important public health  
initiative. I hope you’ll join me, the Board of Health, DuPage Health Matters and other elected  
officials and dignitaries for the check presentation at noon next Tuesday.
