Witt/Kieffer has been retained by the Illinois Children’s Healthcare Foundation based in Hinsdale, Illinois, to assist in the recruitment of their new President/CEO. The Illinois Children's Healthcare Foundation (ILCHF) has a single mission: to ensure that every child in Illinois has the opportunity to grow up healthy.  Working through grantee partners across the state, the Foundation focuses its grantmaking on identifying and funding solutions to the barriers that prevent children from accessing the ongoing health care they need. ILCHF was created in December 2002 through an action of the State of Illinois Attorney General's Office and a group of Illinois insurance carriers.  This action and an approximately $125 million dollar settlement, established Illinois' only private foundation focused solely on the health needs of children across the state.  Through 2012, ILCHF will undertake two major initiatives and shift the emphasis of its grantmaking efforts to more directly target oral health improvement and mental health.

Illinois Children’s Healthcare Foundation is an Equal Opportunity, Affirmative Action Employer.
