Fitzsimmons Public Health Awards

Each year nominations are sought to honor individuals, businesses and organizations who have gone above and beyond the call of duty in creating a healthier Oak Park.

These individuals are presented an award named for William Fitzsimmons, a medical consultant to the Oak Park Department of Public Health from 1976-1992. A humanitarian who volunteered his services to the Village, Dr. Fitzsimmons is remembered for his compassion toward others, regardless of their race or socio-economic status, a deep love of medicine and dedication to public service.

Award winners are chosen by the Oak Park Board of Health.
