Specialties
The Illinois Chapter is proud to serve the more than 60,000 people in Illinois and Northwest Indiana affected by Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis.
History
Established in 1967.
The Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America is a non-profit, volunteer-driven organization dedicated to finding the cure for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. It was founded in 1967 by Irwin M. and Suzanne Rosenthal, William D. and Shelby Modell, and Henry D. Janowitz, M.D.
Four decades ago, the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation created the field of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis research. Today, the Foundation funds cutting-edge studies at major medical institutions, nurtures investigators at the early stages of their careers, and finances underdeveloped areas of research. Educational workshops and symposia, together with our scientific journal, «Inflammatory Bowel Diseases,» enable medical professionals to keep pace with this rapidly growing field. No wonder the National Institutes of Health has commended the Foundation for «uniting the research community and strengthening IBD research.
