MARGARET BURT PUBLIC HEALTH PARTNERSHIP AWARD
The 2010 Margaret Burt Public Health Partnership Award winners were announced on
April 19th by the Tazewell County Health Department. The Margaret Burt Public
Health Partnership Award was renamed to honor Margaret Burt who was on the
original Board of Health in 1970 and continued to serve for several years.
Margaret Burt was a champion of public health, not only in Tazewell County, but
throughout the state of Illinois.
Community members or agency personnel who have made an impact on the health and
safety of Tazewell County residents are nominated by Health Department staff.
Three members of the Tazewell County community were honored for the impact and
partnership to support public health.
• Joe Franklin, Principal of Washington Intermediate School, Pekin. Joe
exemplifies the word “partnership” when it comes to his role as principal of a
PEAK school.
• Peggy Jacques, RN MSN, OSF College of Nursing Instructor. Peggy and her
students extended the capacity of TCHD through seasonal and H1N1 flu clinics and
homebound shots.
• Nazir Merheb, DDS, MD Oral, Maxillofacial and Facial Surgeon, Pekin. Dr.
Merheb treats the most serious patients with critical oral issues. These medical
card clients would not have another option for services without Dr. Merheb.
The 2010 winners: Dr. Nizar Merheb, Peggy Jacques
and Joe Franklin
Tazewell County Health Department also celebrated the contributions of
volunteers
from the Tazewell County Emergency Management Agency and TCHD Medical Reserve
Corps. These volunteers received a certificate of appreciation for the hours
dedicated to the 2009 H1N1 outbreak.
