Changes are Happening at the LCHD

As a new LCHD building gets underway, things are going to look a bit different around the here for a while. We ask that visitors of the LCHD please continue to park in the front of the building and call 815-844-7174 x210 for assistance upon your arrival.

Please be patient with us as we try to manage our increased phone activity. Between flu shots, appointment scheduling, contact tracing for COVID-19, and managing our over 30 programs, our five phone lines are a bit over-inundated. We are trying to use to cell phones as much as possible to keep LCHD phone lines open. If you call us and receive a busy signal, please give us a call back. We appreciate your understanding and patience.
