[September 30, 2017]  Home Care of Central Illinois, a division of the Logan County Department of Public Health (LCDPH) will be closing its doors at the end of 2017.

New patient referrals will be accepted until October 2nd. The LCDPH home health agency has served clients throughout Logan County and Central Illinois for nearly 35 years.

“It is unfortunate to see a program that has served the community so well, for so long, come to an end,” said Don Cavi, Public Health Administrator at LCDPH. Cavi added, “Newer industry regulatory constraints coupled with increased competition from larger agencies have made it less economically feasible for smaller home health agencies, such as ours, to sustain a home health program.”

“We appreciate our staff and the award-winning service they provided. In addition, we are thankful to the community for their support of this program over the years.

Fortunately, there are other home health services that are available to ensure people have access to the care they will need,” said Cavi.

The LCDPH will continue to serve the community with a broad range of public health services in conjunction with its collaborative partners, Southern Illinois University, Center for Family Medicine and the Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital. For more information, contact LCDPH at 217-735-2317 or go online at WWW.LCDPH.ORG.
