Illinois COVID-19 Virtual Care Program

Governor Pritzker recently announced the Illinois COVID-19 Virtual Care Program that serves Illinoisans potentially infected with novel coronavirus. This virtual program helps individuals recover from the safety of their homes and serves to reduce barriers to physical and mental health services in all communities for those who do not have a primary care physician.

Virtual care is available in every region of Illinois. This care includes COVID-19 virtual screenings, virtual visits, and remote patient monitoring. Patients will receive daily virtual visits by health care workers & receive wellness kits which include thermometers, pulse oximeters, blood pressure cuffs & alcohol wipes. These resources are available for anyone in the state, no matter what form of insurance they have.

If you're recovering from a mild version of COVID-19 from the safety of your own home – like most people who get infected – please take advantage of this fully expanded telehealth program covering the entire state.

The Central Illinois program is provided by OSF Healthcare. Individuals interested in this program should contact OSF Healthcare at 833-673-5669. For more information, click the files below, or visit: https://coronavirus.illinois.gov/s/telehealth
