Dental Assistant
Chicago is an energetic place where you can spend an afternoon enjoying parks and beaches or discovering art and artifacts. Whether you stroll down Michigan Avenue or roll down the Chicago River on a boat tour, there's something for everyone. Located side by side in the Loop, Grant Park and Millennium Park are popular with residents and visitors from around the world. Explore the Taste of Chicago or the musical extravaganza Lollapalooza at Grant Park in the summer. Millennium Park is home to the McCormick Tribune Plaza and Ice Rink, the Jay Pritzker Pavilion and the Cloud Gate sculpture. The newest neighbor is Maggie Daley Park. When the weather turns too cool for the picnic groves, climbing wall and play garden, try the ice-skating ribbon. For a more relaxed scene, visit Palmisano Park in Bridgeport or the Lincoln Park Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool. There's a fishing pond, track and field and wetlands accompanied by city views. Under the skyscrapers sits Chicago's wildlife center. From monkeys to lions, Lincoln Park Zoo houses a world of cuddly animals and roaring beasts.
The Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center (FHCC) vision is, "Creating the future of federal healthcare through excellence in world-class patient care, customer service, education and research." The FHCC consists of 199 operating beds, 195 nursing home care beds and 149 Mental Health Residential Rehabilitation Treatment Program (MHRRTP) beds for patients requiring residential treatment for substance abuse, homelessness, post-traumatic stress disorder and psychosocial rehabilitation. The new FHCC is a landmark project that provides a transformational opportunity for federal health care and represents the first known total integration of the health care delivery and operations of two distinct and separate health care organizations owned by different cabinet-level departments within the federal government.
