Through a grant funded by the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), S7HD provides many healthcare services
through IDPH Wellness on Wheels (WOW) Van Clinics. The WOW Van rotates throughout high, health-risk communities
each Wednesday in the lower seven counties in Illinois.
The WOW Van, a multi-disciplinary mobile unit, is available to S7HD through a partnership with IDPH to provide health
screenings and other services. IDPH partners with health agencies and hospitals to provide staff and services on the
WOW Van at sites where people can come for medical services.
No appointment is needed for services. Walk-ins are welcome. Clinic dates, times, and available services are subject to
change without notice.
For more information, and future outreach events for the WOW Van program through Southern
7 Health Department, contact Shawnna Rhine at 618-634-2297 ex.971161 or visit Southern 7 on Facebook, Instagram, X,
