About Infant Welfare Society of Chicago
The Infant Welfare Society of
Chicago (IWS) is a not-for-profit
medical center that was founded in 1911. Its original mission was
to distribute pasteurized milk to low-income families in order to
reduce high levels of infant mortality endemic to Chicago's immigrant communities in the early
20th century.
Throughout its 104 year history, Infant
Welfare has pioneered innovative pediatric care practices in
treating Chicago's most vulnerable
populations. Since the 1920s, IWS has incorporated child
development and behavioral health counseling into its primary care
model. Since 1970, it has provided pediatric dentistry services to
low-income children; orthodontic care was introduced in 1991 and
pediatric optometry in 1995.
Today, the Infant Welfare Society of Chicago is a state-of-the-art, community
health center serving more than 11,000 patients annually with a
continuum of medical care, dental care, optometry, and behavioral
health services.
