"It will be particularly beneficial for Cook County Care Medicaid members, who no longer have to receive urgent care in out-of-network providers. This will ensure equitable and better access to high-quality health care for all in the north and northwest suburbs," said Cook County Commissioner Scott Britton.

The $2 million federal grant will also allow Cook County Health to upgrade medical equipment at multiple facilities throughout the system.
