Healthworks
HealthWorks of Illinois is a collaborative effort of the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), the Department of Human Services (DHS) and Public Health. The program provides a network of health care services to wards of DCFS and their children.
HealthWorks also provides advocacy and referrals to pregnant DCFS wards and their children. We work closely with foster parents and caseworkers to ensure that those in foster care receive appropriate medical care.
