Welcome to the Illinois Chapter!

The Illinois Chapter of the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation is proud to serve individuals across Illinois, offering resources, hope, and support to those affected by Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Based in the Chicagoland area, our team is driven by a passion to make life better for IBD patients while working to find cures for these challenging diseases.

Help us make a difference for the more than approximately 128,000 Illinoisans living with IBD. Your generosity fuels progress - advancing cutting-edge research, expanding advocacy efforts, and enhancing patient support programs. Together, we can transform lives and bring us closer to a future free of Crohn's and colitis.
