Throughout the year, Elks Children's Care Corporation sponsors free orthopedic diagnostic clinics at Perry Memorial Hospital for those who do not have private health insurance. Additionally, this service assists children with orthopedic problems up to age 21. This may include supplementary care, necessary therapy and orthopedic appliances. Financial assistance is also a possibility.

Since its inception in 1868, the Benevolent & Protective Order of the Elks has dedicated and focused on activities that improve communities across the country with programs targeted towards America's youth and veterans. For more information, call the Lodge at (815) 875-2185.
