  February 1, 2010
  HIHC was awarded $20,000 from The Field Foundation of Illinois for continued support of the preventive care case management program. This program is a targeted outreach initiative that promotes access to and information about recommended cancer screenings (breast, cervical, and colorectal) and age-appropriate immunizations (childhood, flu, and pneumonia). The Field Foundation seeks to provide support for community, civic and cultural organizations in the Chicago area, enabling both new and established programs to test innovations, to expand proven strengths or to address specific, time-limited operational needs.

  For questions related to the preventive care case management program or other HIHC activities, please contact Kimberly Tester, External Relations Manager, at ktester@heartlandalliance.org.
