			 David Purves, PA-C, ATC of the Springfield Clinic Orthopedic Group 
			will conduct the assessments. The clinic is by appointment only. The 
			clinic is an ideal time to have a child reviewed for bone and joint 
			development. If your child has an uncorrectable deformity, complains 
			of back, knee, leg, ankle pain or has a back curvature, they can be 
			seen at the clinic. No medical referral is necessary for the clinic, 
			however, physicians are welcome to refer patients to the clinic for 
			a specific reason or second opinion. 
 The Elks Organization has been working with physically challenged 
			children since 1928. There are 17 clinic locations throughout 
			Illinois. The Elks will provide financial assistance to the best of 
			their ability for children needing further treatment or specialty 
			equipment when the family lacks sufficient resources to do so. In 
			the past, the Elks have purchased therapy services, corrective 
			shoes, braces, orthotics, wheelchairs and augmentative communication 
			devices to help children overcome a variety of physical challenges.
