National Reading Program

The Chrisman Clinic, with funding from the Horizon Health Foundation of East Central Illinois, participates in the national “Reach Out and Read” program. The program provides a new book to children (infants to age 5) at each well-child visit. Parents also receive encouraging advice about reading aloud to their children, which fosters brain development and creates a foundation for success.
