Last week our speaker was Dave Mareno from Erie HealthReach Waukegan Health Center who told us about the services that they offer to an expanding clientele. The health center provides a full spectrum of services with strong hospital partnerships. Only 57% of Erie's budget comes from insurance payments and self-pay patient revenue and the gap must be filled by public and private sources, including individual philanthropic support.
