The Illinois Elks Children's Care Program and the Effingham Elks Lodge 1016 would like to inform our families about their free clinic opportunities. The Elks program provides orthopedic assessments and necessitated prescription financial assistance for children and young adults ages newborn to eighteen.
The clinic focuses on addressing pediatric issues such as scoliosis, ambulatory impingements due to the feet, ankles or legs, upper and lower body pain, as well as other various tendon, joint, muscle, and bone related hindrances.
The clinic is held four times a year at the Sarah Bush Lincoln Bonutti Orthopedic Clinic at 1303 West Evergreen Avenue in Effingham. Dr. Timothy Gray examines and assesses children's physical health. There is no charge for the exam.
Appointments are required for the clinical exams and can be scheduled by calling the Elks Children's Care Program at 1-800-272-0074 on weekdays from 9am - 4pm. The next clinic date will be held on Thursday, June 12, 2025 starting at 8am.
The Elks clinic is funded by contributions from members of the lodges of the Illinois Elks Association. The organization offers free clinics in 15 Illinois locations on a rotating basis. We appreciate your help with assisting children and their families in getting the aid that they need.
