Gov. Pritzker, Illinois DCFS join Maryville to Cut Ribbon on New Residential Facility for Medically Complex Youth in Care

Press Release

"Across the state and especially here in Chicago, too many of our children and families - particularly those with urgent and complex medical needs - have to overcome significant barriers to secure the care they need. We have made it our mission to leap over those hurdles and ensure every child in Illinois receives the quality, accessible care they deserve. I am deeply proud that support from DCFS could bring this project to life with a $1 million capital investment as well as a rate guaranteeing payment to support standard care, specialty positions, and resources for nursing, case management, transportation, and food. This is just one of many investments we're making as part of a comprehensive effort to increase capacity in youth care."
