A Letter to the Community

Posted on by Parul Gupta

Dear Lake Shore Obstetrics and Gynecology Patients,

We at Lake Shore Obstetrics and Gynecology were shocked and saddened by the Independence Day tragedy in Highland Park. Many of our patients, colleagues and friends reside in Highland Park and we pray that you have remained safe in the wake of this horrific event; we are praying for the entire community, especially those who were injured and lost their lives. We send our deepest and sincerest sympathy.

Regardless of whether one resides in Highland Park or even the northern suburbs, we have all been affected by this cruel act. We understand that even if one has not sustained physical injuries, the emotional trauma can be long lasting. Please know that there are resources for counseling, therapy and even medication when necessary. We are here to help.

Sincerely,
Lake Shore Obstetrics and Gynecology
