Care Van^® Program – Driving Health To Our Communities

The Care Van Program has partnered with the Chicago Department of Public Health  for over 30 years. The goal has been to provide childhood vaccinations to students entering Chicago Public Schools, to meet State of Illinois requirements.

Our partnership with the Lake County Public Health Department offers resources to 18 townships, vaccinating community members in 1A and 1B categories.  

We also partner with the American Lung Assocation and Jewel Osco/Albertson's Pharmacy to highlight the importance of immunizations, with a focus on yearly flu shots.

According to the American Cancer Society, Colorectal Cancer (CRC) is the third-leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men and women. Each year, an estimated 6,600 Illinoisans will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer, and more than 2,400 people will die from it. Because CRC is highly treatable in its early stages, BCBSIL wants to help more community members have access to care and take prevention into their own hands by providing Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) kits at no-cost.

If you're interested in being a community partner and hosting a community vaccination for COVID-19, flu or other adult or pediatric preventable disease vaccination, complete this form .  A member from our team will contact you.
