Annual school sports physical clinics are being scheduled. Find out when your school is offering physicals.
FHN is committed to keeping our environment safe for you. Face coverings, social distancing, strict standards of cleanliness, and separate areas to care for COVID-19 patients are just some of our measures to keep you safe.
As we've all seen even more clearly recently, your health is so important - so don't put off visiting your FHN provider or scheduling appointments! Our offices and hospital are open, and we're as ready as ever to care for you and your family.
One of the best ways to keep healthy is to keep moving, so FHN is again inviting families across northwest Illinois to turn their warm-weather chores and fun into cash for their schools with the popular FHN Miles and Minutes program.
FHN and the Northern Illinois Food Pantry are helping get a healthy “dose” of good food to those who need it. This free program will distribute healthy produce, milk, eggs, and frozen and canned meats to qualified participants on a regular basis.
In accordance with Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) guidelines, FHN is postponing or cancelling all larger nonessential events until further notice.
