GOVERNOR J-B PRITZKER IS CELEBRATING A NEW REGIONAL LOGISTICS CENTER THAT WILL PROVIDE MORE ACCESS TO REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE IN SOUTHEASTERN ILLINOIS. 

THE CENTER, IN FAIRVIEW HEIGHTS, IS A JOINT EFFORT BETWEEN PLANNED PARENTHOOD OF SAINT LOUIS AND THE GRANITE-CITY BASED HOPE CLINIC. THE GOAL IS TO COORDINATE CARE FOR THOSE NEEDING SERVICES, INCLUDING ABORTIONS, TO IN-STATE AND OUT-OF-STATE WOMEN SAYS GOVERNOR PRITZKER.

THE CENTER WILL USE PRIVATE FUNDS TO HELP PAY TRAVEL, CHILDCARE AND OTHER COSTS FOR WOMEN TRAVELING FROM OTHER STATES TO ILLINOIS.

THERE IS NO INCOME OR DISTANCE REQUIREMENT TO ACCESS THESE SERVICES.
