The Oak Park River Forest Infant Welfare Society is a not-for-profit organization founded in 1916 to help support impoverished mothers and their infants at a time when the child mortality rate was high. Today the Clinic provides medical and dental care and social services for children from birth to 19 years of age living in communities primarily in the west suburban Cook County area whose families meet federal poverty income guidelines.

The Clinic serves more than 2,100 children each year, through 6,500 visits. The 200-member Society helps raise important financial support for the Clinic as well as contributes a number of volunteer services.
