The Elks Organization has been working with physically challenged
children since 1928 and this is one of the 15 clinic locations
throughout Illinois. The clinic is an ideal time to have a child
reviewed for bone and joint development. If your child has feet
pointing out or in who complains of back, knew, leg, ankle pain or
has a back curvature can be seen at this clinic. There is no charge
for any diagnostic services at this clinic. 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 service, corrective shoes, braces, wheelchairs and
augmentative communication devices to help children overcome a
variety of physical challenges.
