Elk Grove Township is proud to support local nonprofit partners through our Mental Health & Wellness Service Contracts.

This month, we're recognizing Access to Care a nonprofit health care program administered by the Suburban Primary Health Council that helps connect lower-income, uninsured, and underinsured residents to affordable health care services.

Since 1988, Access to Care has helped residents of suburban Cook County and northwest Chicago access quality medical care. Through partnerships with physicians and hospitals across the region, the program provides members with unlimited $5 co-pay primary care visits, unlimited $5 co-pay lab and x-ray services, and low-cost prescription coverage with co-pays ranging from $15-$40. These services help reduce barriers to care and ensure individuals and families can access the health services they need close to home.

Individuals interested in the program can determine their eligibility by visiting accesstocare.org or calling 708-531-0680.

Funding through Elk Grove Township's Mental Health & Wellness Service Contracts helps support Access to Care's mission of increasing access to affordable, high-quality health care and improving health outcomes for individuals and families throughout our community.

We were happy to connect with community members at the Annual Berwyn Police Department Open House! There were several community agencies there sharing information about available resources and services.

If you haven’t been to the BPD Open House, be sure to check it out next year! They have an impressive police station and a really interesting forensics room. It’s a great opportunity to meet local officers, connect with community organizations, and learn more about what’s available in the community.
