We ask that you come prepared and bring a mask or face covering to your appointment. While public health guidance has changed during the pandemic as more U.S. citizens are fully vaccinated for COVID-19, some of our agencies and centers are located in buildings that have different policies for wearing masks and face coverings than our lobby and waiting areas. Follow the signs posted in the building and the lobby of our agency or center which will display the most up-to-date mask and face covering requirements.
Please note: We may not see you exactly at your appointment time.
You can park in nearby public garages on Clark Street or West Harrison Street. Daily and hourly parking rates are subject to change without notice.
