The Director of the Illinois Department of Public of Public Health will be in Galesburg on Tuesday afternoon visiting the Knox County Health Department.
Dr. Ngozi Ezike and her staff will tour the facility and learn about the services provided by the Health Department, and also meeting with several local public health stakeholders.

Ezike has been attempting to visit local health departments across the state.

Ezike is a board-certified pediatrician who was appointed IDPH director in January 2019 by Gov. J.B. Pritzker.

She took the position after working 15 years at Cook County Health where she promoted delivering integrated health services with dignity to all residents, regardless of ability to pay.

Knox County Public Health Administrator Michele Gabriel says she’s proud of the work the local health department provides and is honored Ezike has chosen to visit.
