2021 Annual Report
We are excited to share our 2021 Annual Report: Trusted Community Partner. Last year, when the COVID-19 vaccine became available and new strains of the virus emerged, Access to Care was there. Not only for our members… but for everyone in the communities we serve.
Because of our established reputation of over 30 years in the community, our staff scheduled over 1,000 vaccine appointments in just a few weeks. We were a key partner to the Cook County Department of Public Health in community-based vaccine education and administration efforts. During this time, we continued our regular operations of providing primary health care services (ie, doctor visits, lab tests, counseling, prescriptions) to those most in need. In addition to addressing health care needs, we made referrals to organizations that could help with finances, meals, housing, and other challenges that impacted the health and well-being of our members and fellow residents.
The past couple of years have been very difficult for health care workers. We sincerely thank and appreciate the continued participation of our medical providers in the Access to Care program. We also stand in gratitude with all our partners for their unwavering support of our mission.
If, after reviewing the 2021 Annual Report, you would like more information about how Access to Care can help members of your community, please email us at info@accesstocare.org or call 708-531-0680.
Sincerely,
Kathi Franklin
President & CEO, Access to Care
