The Illinois Telehealth Network is a member-based, voluntary network of independent organizations working together to address widespread medical provider and care shortages in rural, underserved and disadvantaged areas in Illinois.  The ITN currently consists of 26 members collaborating to help eliminate barriers to healthcare access.  Funded by more than $3.7 million in federal and foundation grants, the ITN is managed by an elected Board of Directors who are supported by a 5-person professional staff team helping members to advance telehealth initiatives throughout the state.
