Free Teen Clinic Moving to Monday Starting Feb. 6

JOLIET, IL — The free teen clinic at the Will County Health Department will be conducted on Mondays starting Feb. 6. The clinic is currently on Fridays. The hours of operation for the confidential walk-in clinic will remain 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.

The clinic's day was changed due to feedback from the teens who use it, the health department said.

"By Illinois law, youngsters from age 12 and up can consent themselves for sexual health services," the health department said in a statement. "The free health services offered to teens at this clinic include family planning, birth control, pregnancy testing and counseling, HIV testing and counseling, and treatment for sexually transmitted diseases."
