Welcome to Our New Open Door Health Center of IL Website.

It’s been a year in the making and well worth the wait.

I wanted to share  information about what is happening at Open Door. All of us at Open Door want you to care for your health as much as we do, and we want you to use this website to keep current on issues that may impact your health and well-being.  In addition to the website, we will send you a text, email, or even call you on the phone to remind you of your appointment. We do this so you can stay on top of your medical needs. We want to make sure that those living with HIV and/or AIDS remain undetectable. This website contains information about the Undetectable Equals Untransmittable campaign and so much more.

Our website will bring information on current and upcoming events, new services offered by Open Door Health Center of Illinois, new locations and opportunities to become involved with our organization—as a patient, a donor, a volunteer, an intern, a member of our Client Advisory Board (CAB), a potential employee or as a concerned member of our community.

I have to thank some of the organizations who continue to believe in the services we provide. First, the AIDS Foundation of Chicago recently funded us for another three years and added additional support for Insurance Navigation and Outpatient Ambulatory Care Services. The next shout out goes to the Chicago Department of Public Health. CDPH continues to support our Ambulatory Care, Early Intervention Services, PrEP, mental health, and additional psychosocial supportive services . The Illinois Public Health Association is funding us to go out in the community to provide education, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment to those at risk for sexually transmitted infections, including HIV and AIDS. The Public Health Institute of Metro Chicago to provide outreach and testing services in Suburban Cook.  The last shout out is to the Department of Human services to expand our Behavioral Health services. Because of the support of these valuable community partners, we will continue to provide the vital and needed services to support you.

Let us know how we are doing. If you have any questions about the services at Open Door, please call us at 630–264–1819 (Aurora Area) and 847-695–1093 (Elgin Area).
