New "We Care Card" Program Announced in DuPage Township (IL) Aims to Assist Township Residents Without Health Insurance A new beneficial health insurance option for DuPage (IL) Townshipresidents was announced on July 26th, 2011, by DuPage Town Supervisor, Bill Mayer. The new program, called the "We Care Card" Program, focuses on bringing health-care services to DuPage Township residents that don't have ... or can't afford ... health insurance.  This "We Care Card" Program could touch as many as 16,000 residents living in the township, and will offer a FREE initial health screening done by nurses of the Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital, located at 500 Remington Boulevard, Bolingbrook, IL. The hospital is partnering-up with DuPage Township to deliver this much-needed new program. The "We Care Card" Program is hoping to educate DuPage residents about the benefits of good nutrition and fitness, plus the need for consistent management of their health issues. Through this initiative, they hope to reduce the number of residents that must visit hospital emergency rooms for more basic medical care. The DuPage Township has spent $20,000 to initiate this new program. The township is alerting the 10,000 families and 2,000 senior citizens served by the DuPage Township's food pantry about the existence of the new "We Care Card" Program, but any DuPage Township resident can apply. Officials believe that the dollars spent upfront by the Townhip will end-up being "re-paid" as residents are educated about their health-care issues and make fewer visits to the hospital emergency rooms. Any DuPage Township resident interested in learning more regarding this new "We Care Card" Program ... or wanting to make application for a "We Care Card", should contact DuPage Township by phone at: 630.759.1317. The DuPage Township offices are located at: 241 Canterbury Lane, Bolingbrook, IL. Hours are: Monday through Friday, 8:30 am - 4:30 PM.
