FOX 32 Chicago and CBS News Chicago both featured Karen Walenick Albert, CEO of Recovery Centers of America’s St. Charles location, ahead of Lollapalooza — delivering a clear public health message to the hundreds of thousands of festivalgoers descending on Grant Park for the four-day event.
Walenick Albert’s warnings were direct and timely. With large festival crowds and the widespread availability of substances at events like Lollapalooza, she urged attendees to pace themselves throughout the festival and to exercise extreme caution with anything obtained from unknown sources. The risk of consuming adulterated substances — including those laced with fentanyl or other dangerous compounds — is real and has cost lives at events across the country.
The back-to-back placements on two of Chicago’s most-watched broadcast outlets put RCA’s clinical voice in front of a massive local audience at exactly the right moment — before the crowds arrive and while safety decisions are still being made.
For Recovery Centers of America, the Chicago coverage reinforces the organization’s role as a proactive public health resource — one that shows up in the community when and where the conversation matters most.
