Shawnee Health Service
Carterville, Illinois“Shawnee Health Service and Franklin-Williamson Human Services, Inc. in Williamson County, Illinois, have received two Community Facility Loans totaling $2,784,000 to construct two new medical buildings on their joint campus in Marion. More than 15,000 children and adults in rural Williamson County don’t have the personal resources to pay for the health care they need; about a third of them live 200 percent below the poverty level. Starting this fall, thanks to the funding, there will be a full-time dentist and hygienist to provide comprehensive dental services in Williamson County. With this funding, thousands of underemployed, unemployed, and uninsured in Southern Illinois will have access to quality, affordable health care.” – Project #60, recovery.gov report ‘100 Days, 100 Projects’
