A free orthopedic assessment clinic for children and youth with bone and joint development concerns

The Illinois Elks Children’s Care Corporation’s free orthopedic clinic will be held on June 10 from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m.

The clinic will be held at Wabash General Hospital, 1527 College Dr., Mt. Carmel.

The clinic with Dr. Julko Fullopt is for children and youth up to age 18.  It’s an ideal time to have a child checked for any bone and joint development concerns, including:

• An uncorrectable deformity
• Complaints of back, knee, leg or ankle pain
• A back curvature

A medical referral is not necessary. Physicians are welcome to refer patients to the clinic for a specific reason or second opinion.

There are no charges for any services performed at the clinic, but an appointment is required to be seen.

To make an appointment, call the Elks Children’s Care Program at (800) 272-0074 on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The Elks provide 17 clinic locations throughout Illinois and offer financial assistance to the best of their ability for children needing further treatment or specialty equipment when the family lacks sufficient resources.
