Care Coordination Team
Community Health Workers (CHWs) are the initial point of contact for children and families who are enrolled in the CHECK program. CHWs create a roadmap for families to reduce triggers for chronic conditions, and manage the social stressors in their lives. Patients and families receive in-depth assessments, care planning, referral to social services, and, if needed, referrals to in-house legal support and community based mobile dental care. CHWs provide services both in community settings, including primary care practices and community based organizations, as well as the UIC hospital and health system, liaising between clinical and community based providers. CHWs also do home visits. A total of 38,376 services have been provided.

Getting services from CHECK is easy and free!
If you're a Medicaid member, all you need to do is let your insurance provider know you'd like to have CHECK be the Integrated Health Home for you and your family members. That's it! You're allowed to change your Integrated Health Home choice monthly, so you can start this process at any time! CHECK is currently focusing its services in Cook County Illinois, but we hope to branch out soon! Click your provider below to be directed to their member page where you can tell them you want CHECK as your Integrated Health Home!
