Money can't buy good health, but it can buy patient assistance, education, and life-saving medical research. That's the purose of Community Health Charities of Illinois, a non-profit organization formed in 1982 and comprised of leading health care agencies.

The members of CHC/Illinois have formed this coalition because it is the most effective and efficient way to raise funds at the workplace. Our goal is to provide employers and individuals the convenience of "one-stop" health support, but with the ability to direct donations to the specific health charities you want to support.
