This week, two celebrations come together around one shared purpose: connecting people with the care and support they need.

While we continue to celebrate Illinois Free & Charitable Clinics Month, we are also proud to recognize National Community Health Worker Awareness Week, August 24-28, as celebrated by the National Association of Community Health Workers (NACHW).

Community Health Workers (CHWs) are trusted neighbors, connectors, advocates, and guides who help people navigate the healthcare system, overcome barriers, and access important services and resources.

This same spirit of connection is also at the heart of free and charitable clinics. Together, CHWs, clinics, volunteers, healthcare professionals, and community partners help make care feel a little more accessible for the people who need it.

This week, we celebrate CHWs everywhere and thank them for the relationships they build and the difference they make in their communities. 🎉💙⭐🎊
