We have led innovative community-based preventive healthcare for over 100 years, designed from the beginning to provide Chicago's most vulnerable families and communities with access to affordable health care. In 1911, a series of "milk stations" were established across Chicago to provide nutritional support in order to combat high rates of infant mortality.
The "milk stations" evolved into well-child clinics, and IWS continued to grow and innovate. In 1924, IWS pioneered and incorporated child development and behavioral health counseling. In 1991, IWS began offering pediatric orthodontic care and in 1995, offering pediatric optometry.
