A Township Health Hero Still Serving

In 1946, Stickney Township launched its public health district to support WWII veterans — and today, it’s still saving lives by offering free and affordable care to everyone, regardless of insurance or income. From mobile dental vans visiting schools to sliding-scale podiatry and behavioral health, this Illinois township is the only one at its level certified by the state. With senior programs, multilingual therapists, and a mission rooted in compassion over profit, they’re proving healthcare can be truly community-centered — even when budgets are tight.
