Reality check The problems of the uninsured have only grown more difficult in the last few years.
When the Clinic began in 1996, the University of Illinois School of Medicine indicated that there were an estimated 13,000 uninsured in the county. The 1997 survey, showed that number to be now almost 15,000. The vast majority of patients we see are working, but are simply unable to get coverage because their company doesn't offer it, or they have some pre-existing conditions. Ours is often the only place they can go. Visioning Our vision for people lacking access to primary health care is for a future of healthy people in healthy communities in McHenry County.
