Infant Welfare's services include medical, dental and mental health care for women and children. Visit IWS on any day and it's a bustle of activity from open until close. But when you look at the numbers of families we serve, you can see how many lives we really touch. As an enrollment site for the State of Illinois' KidCare program, the Infant Welfare Society assists families in obtaining health insurance for their children. Last year, we enrolled more than 600 families in KidCare.
