Ella Phillips Lacey didn't retire as a community health educator. Instead, she broadened her emphasis to include the whole world.

Lacey, 66, recently received the President's Volunteer Service Award for her service in the Peace Corps.
 
A retired health education professor from Southern Illinois University Carbondale, Lacey has dedicated the last decade of her life to helping others.

Although Lacey was honored for her aggressive work with polio eradication over the last seven years, it was her period in the Peace Corps that really began a strong pattern of service to others.  more >>
