Advisory Subcommittees
The Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) has established five advisory subcommittees to provide input into the development, implementation and management of the Illinois Health Connect program. Participation in the subcommittees is voluntary and open to any consumer or healthcare professional who wishes to participate.
The subcommittees meet quarterly, primarily via teleconference. A charter describing the subcommittees, minutes, chairperson and contact information for each subcommittee can be found by clicking on the name of the subcommittee.
For more information on these subcommittees, call the Illinois Health Connect Provider Services Help Desk at 1-877-912-1999 (TTY: 1-866-565-8577). The call is free. You can also contact us using our secure online form.
