About Us

OPRF IWS has been supporting children within the community since 1916. Its cornerstone program is the IWS Children’s Clinic which provides medical, dental, and behavioral services for underserved infants, children, and young adults ages 0 and 21. The Clinic ensures access to health care for families in need in the western suburbs, Chicago, and Cook and DuPage counties. In FY2024, the IWS Children’s Clinic provided more than 8,000 health care visits to nearly 3,000 patients. OPRF IWS is supported by its donors, staff, members and volunteers, as it advances the health and well-being of children in need so they can become healthy children growing into healthy and productive adults.
