The help that we provide can be at the office by appointment, shelter, or a walk-in from the street. We can dispel the myths about the Affordable Care Act (ACA), get patients the help they need and then put them in the hands of the professionals that can help make their life healthier. Our job is to educate and find ways for our patients to take care of themselves.

Please call us at 309.557.1400 to schedule an appointment for assistance with insurance enrollment or to help discover other options. You may qualify for free or low-cost health insurance.
