Mission: The oak park river forest infant welfare society (oprfiws) is a diverse member-driven organization with an abiding commitment to assuring the health and well being of children. Through our iws children's clinic, the oprfiws provides the highest quality medical, dental and social services to those who are unable to afford the cost of private care. The work of the society is powered by dedicated members and volunteers, a highly competent professional staff, generous donors, engaged partners and enlightened communities who share our view that sustaining the health of our children is a critical investment in the future. For 97 years, oprfiws has been a mainstay for children in need of quality medical, dental and social services. Oprfiws sponsors the iws children's clinic.
