United States Congressman Bill Foster was also attended the event.

“With overwhelming support from Eastern Will County communities, we are proud to offer these new services,” said Walsh. “Our health department is second to none and now our residents in the Eastern portion of our county will have the same benefits.”

The ribbon cutting celebrates the additional services now available at the Monee location, which opened in 2015. According to Maragos, the center will offer psychiatric and primary health services to all ages from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

“In a county as large as Will, it is critical that we bring our services to the residents whenever possible,” Maragos said. “This is a great partnership between the health department, which was already offering adult behavioral health counseling, environmental and family health services, to offer direct patient care.”
