TCHP provides free medical and dental care to low-income, uninsured residents of Central Kane County. As you can imagine, the COVD-19 pandemic is causing those without insurance a heightened level of anxiety and fear. Additionally, the vast majority of our patients work in nonessential industries, and are not working. Once this crisis is over, we are expecting a very large increase in patient visits and medication needs. We simply do not have the financial resources to handle the impending needs.
Current Services: TCHP is modifying services and operating via Telemedicine for patients as well as continuing to fill medications for existing patients.
