Wake Up Tri-Counties Sam Rux Talks OSF Healthcare King Care-A-Van Program

Samantha Rux from OSF Healthcare joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about the King Care-A-Van program. The OSF King Care-A-Van continues its mission of bringing essential healthcare services directly to rural communities throughout Bureau, Henry, LaSalle, and Putnam Counties. The King Care-A-Van program is now operating under OSF OnCall. Launched in 2019 and named after major donors Don and Val King, this mobile health center offers screenings, immunizations, and health education. Staffed by OSF HealthCare professionals in partnership with local health departments, the Care-A-Van breaks down barriers to care by reaching residents who might otherwise face transportation challenges. Samantha Rux from OSF Healthcare emphasized the importance of the program in promoting wellness and preventative care for underserved populations across the region. The King Care-A-Van will be at the finish line of the Kewanee Hog Days Stampede again this year.
