Child Respiratory Health Survey at Orland Township

Orland Township is seeking help from area parents who would like to have their children screened for asthma and allergies, according to the office of Orland Township Supervisor Paul O’Grady.

Mobile Care Chicago is a not-for-profit organization that brings child medical services to the community with their mobile medical clinics. Children can be screened for allergies and asthma by a specialist and then have a treatment plan set up, if needed. All appointments are free of charge. For more information on Mobile Care Chicago, visit their website, mobilecarechicago.org.

Orland Township would like to bring Mobile Care Chicago’s Asthma Van to the Township, but must first show community interest and need for the service.

To demonstrate the need for the service, Orland Township is asking area parents to fill out a short survey regarding their child’s respiratory health. If enough residents complete the survey showing a need for the service, Mobile Care Chicago will set up a date to visit Orland Township and residents will be notified.

The Respiratory Health and Allergy Survey is available on the Township’s website, orlandtownship.org and at the Township office, 14807 S. Ravinia Ave., Orland Park. Residents are asked to complete and return the survey to the Township no later than Wednesday, Sept. 30.
