Access to Care® Program is a model primary health care program serving low-income uninsured individuals in suburban Cook County, Illinois and in Chicago, west of Pulaski Road and north of North Avenue. The Access to Care® program is a unique public/private partnership making primary health care and the ancillary pharmacy, laboratory and radiology services available to the most forgotten segment of our population, the working poor.  The program provides diagnosis and treatment to individuals and families for a small co-payment per visit, procedure or prescription medication.
