PEORIA, Ill., May 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ OSF Innovation and its partners at the University of Illinois College of Medicine Peoria (UICOMP) and Illinois State University (ISU) in Normal, Illinois, have received a federal Human Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) grant to continue work to expand childhood vaccinations to children of low-income families in Central Illinois.
Recent CDC data shows fewer children were vaccinated on time this year compared to last year, in part, because of the COVID-19 pandemic. HRSA invited grant applicants to propose and implement innovative approaches to increase access to and utilization of well-child visits and immunization services.

With COVID-19 leading to an expansion of telehealth services in the past year, Peoria area health care professionals expect those remote treatment options to keep growing even after the pandemic ends.
“I think it’s here to stay, and I think it’s a great thing,” said Dr. Ted Bender, a clinical psychologist and president of UnityPlace in Peoria. “It’s going to improve access, which in mental health is the key to everything: improving access to care. We need to continue to work on ways to engage the unengaged.”
Bender said COVID-19 forced people to start doing more things remotely from their homes, and that includes seeking medical and mental health care.
