We’re excited to continue our dedication to holistic health!

At our Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics in Illinois, we’re empowering individuals to take charge of their overall well-being with the addition of convenient vital sign measuring kiosks.

“Some of our clients may not have the opportunity to interact directly with a nurse who can perform essential vital checks, such as measuring blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature,” said Amy Young, Director of Nursing at Rosecrance. “Recognizing this gap, we identified the need for an innovative solution that provides accessible and comprehensive care.”

Clients visiting Rosecrance Walnut in Champaign and Rosecrance Ware Center in Rockford can quickly and effortlessly measure their BMI, blood pressure, and weight using clinically validated devices from PharmaSmart. It’s a fantastic step towards better health awareness!
