They're sometimes called the "temporarily uninsured," a comfortable description for a frightening problem. Most often, these are people who work, but don't receive health insurance from their employer. At the same time, they're not "poor enough" to qualify for government aid. So they often go without any medical care. No doctor. No routine examinations. They face an uncertain future if they need medical care. And when they must have medical care, their only option is a hospital emergency room . . .
the most expensive alternative.

The Community Health Care Clinic was founded in 1993 through
the efforts of the McLean County Medical Society along with
local businesses and religious organizations. These groups
recognized the growing need for medical care for a segment of
our population that was "slipping through the cracks"
in our healthcare delivery system.
An organized, professional
clinic that could deliver care was urgently needed.
Since that successful beginning,
patient visits at the clinic have
increased dramatically, with the goal that visits
to hospital emergency
rooms will decline.
