AboutIWS Associate Board
The Associate Board of the Infant Welfare Society of Chicago (IWS) was founded in the spring of 2008, as a means to engage the community of young professionals in Chicago.
The Associate Board seeks to raise awareness of the IWS organization and the healthcare issues the dedicated staff members are addressing at the clinic for the working poor in the city of Chicago. In addition to raising awareness, the principal objectives of the Associate Board are to raise funds to support the IWS, and sponsor and participate in volunteer opportunities that support the health and wellness initiatives of IWS for the underserved, uninsured working poor in Logan Square and the surrounding communities

Infant Welfare Society of Chicago
Since its inception in 1911, IWS has served the immigrant population, uninsured residents, and low-income families. An organization that was founded with the sole objective of providing safe, clean milk to infants has now evolved into a clinic that provides comprehensive, quality healthcare to mothers and children, with expanding services to fathers on a sliding fee scale. No one is denied care for inability to pay. Patients at the IWS Clinic are welcome and respected.
