Thank you, Cook County Commissioners, for your support of the Cook County Health and Hospitals System's direct access program! A special thanks to President Preckwinkle, Commissioner Gainer, Commissioner Garcia and Commissioner Steele for your leadership on increasing health access to 40,000 individuals. Cook County will be a healthier community because of it.
Why is this important?
On September 14th Cook County commissioners unanimously passed an ordinance to establish a direct access program for cook county. The program will expand health care access to 40,000 Cook County residents. This is a huge health care victory!
