Thank you to Wesley United Methodist Church at the University of Illinois for honoring us with the Peace with Justice Award!

Avicenna was chosen to receive this award by the Wesley Social Action and Missions Team chaired by Ryan Larsen. They selected ACHC based on our strong track record of providing free health care to the uninsured and underinsured of Champaign-Urbana since 2009. The team was also impressed with our recent expansions of service, including eye clinics, women’s health clinics, health screenings, exercise classes, mental health support, and nutrition support.

Jean Cramer-Heuerman was a former senior pastor at Wesley who was known as a passionate advocate for peace and justice. The Jean Cramer-Heuerman Peace with Justice Award was established in 1999 to honor her legacy, and to recognize those in our community who incorporate social justice in their practice of faith.
