Illinois Clinic Network Brings Mental Health Care Home
Thousands in Illinois benefit from a state wide system of 50 clinics under the Department of Public Welfare. Out patient treatment reduces hospital crowding while extending care to those unable to pay. In 1949 over 20,000 patients were served, with growth limited by staffing. Chicago hosts major facilities. The Peoria joint venture plans to double patients served, aiding a community wide effort with state local cooperation.
