August is Free & Charitable Clinics Month!
Free and charitable clinics play a vital role in Illinois’s health care safety net and public health system.
They provide essential primary care services, address the needs of uninsured and underinsured individuals, offer preventive care and health education, facilitate specialty care referrals, engage in community outreach, and advocate for policies that enhance access to health care for vulnerable populations.
Celebrate free and charitable clinics like CommunityHealth at Redefining Access to Health Care on Tuesday, August 8th, at Illinois Medical District (IMD) from 8:30am – 10:30am.
In partnership with Illinois Association of Free and Charitable Clinics (IAFCC), the event will showcase how collaborations between free and charitable clinics, hospitals, and government entities help leverage resources, expertise, and infrastructure to ensure a more comprehensive and coordinated health care safety net in Chicago and Illinois.
Please welcome the panel of revolutionary health care leaders…
