Public Health
We encourage supportive, caring counseling for individuals and families in any phase of life to better handle life’s challenges. Here are a few of our initiatives to empower the community through Public Health.
UI Health 55th & Pulaski Health Collaborative
A part of the TARGET Health Collaborative Partnership — which brings together seven community partners, including ECS, is committed to transforming the health of these neighborhoods by expanding care services, improving patient outcomes, and reducing health disparities. By increasing access to specialty care, care coordination, urgent care, behavioral health, dental care, women's health, and advanced diagnostics, the Health Collaborative supports patients in getting the care they need, while providing health education assisting with financial and social needs to ensure adequate support through the care journey.
ILLInet Recover
RECOVER is a national research initiative from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The federal government recognizes the impact of COVID and has asked for an official set of rules to be created to evaluate the long-term symptoms people are reporting. The RECOVER study is designed to help ILLnet RECOVER's medical team understand why some people continue to feel sick after having COVID-19 and others don’t. It will also help identify what can be done to speed recovery and even prevent it.
