About
Illinois DHS outreach Nami Chicago has been contacted by the Illinois Department of Human Services to do outreach to the 4,500 residents of the 24 Illinois nursing facilities categorized as institutions for mental disease IMD to explain to the residents their rights under the Williams vs. Quinn consent decree.
