We’re here to help.

We partner with Illinois families and communities to help children and youth with special healthcare needs connect to services and resources.

Who we help.

We serve thousands of families in all counties across the State of Illinois.

We’ve been quite fortunate, blessed I would say, to have phenomenal Care Coordinators through DSCC, and I don’t take that for granted at all. They have a wealth of information. I’ve learned so much through my interactions with DSCC.
