CARTERVILLE — Deaconess Illinois is partnering with John A. Logan College to open a clinic on campus, according to a report from KFVS12.
For a college that has long served as a retraining ground for laid-off miners and factory workers, an on-campus clinic is one more piece of infrastructure aimed at keeping students in their seats — and healthy enough to stay there. Rural health access has been a persistent worry across southern Illinois, and a partnership like this puts care closer to where people already are.
The available report did not specify an opening date, services offered, or staffing for the new clinic. This bureau will follow up as those details become public.
