The pharmacy participates in the 340B program, enabling the provision of discounted medications to eligible patients.
CCHC’s mission is to deliver high-quality primary healthcare and related services to the community, regardless of an individual’s ability to pay, embodying the love of Jesus Christ through compassionate care. With a vision to be a premier organization in Illinois, CCHC strives to provide an integrated and coordinated healthcare and social services system that promotes the health and well-being of the communities it serves.
