IDPH: Office of Women's Health

The Illinois Department of Public Health’s Office of Women’s Health and Family Services (OWHFS) receives federal Title V funding each year to improve maternal, child, and infant health outcomes across the state. Funded activities align with the state’s action plan and selected priority needs. The purpose of the Illinois Adolescent Health Program is to empower adolescents to adopt healthy behaviors and improve the overall health of adolescents by increasing the rate of adolescent well-care visits, the State’s Title V National Performance Measure for adolescents. A well-care visit is a comprehensive visit, occurring at least once a year, in which physical, emotional and social development is assessed. The Adolescent Health Program was designed to provide opportunities to enhance current adolescent well-care services and ensure that health care is provided in a clinic that meets the needs of adolescents. Applicants will serve adolescents, age 11-21, outside of the city of Chicago. The project must align with the American Academy of Pediatrics Bright Futures Guidelines.
