DuPage Health Coalition is a nonprofit organization operating in the hospitals and health care sector, focused on reducing health disparities by ensuring that low-income residents have access to care and medications. Based in the DuPage area of Illinois, the group coordinates a broad network of volunteers and programs designed to help uninsured and underinsured individuals manage their health, with a particular emphasis on affordability and continuity of care. The core initiative, Access DuPage, serves thousands of uninsured residents by offering low copayments while matching program costs with donated care, enabling working families to obtain preventive and treatment services without facing prohibitive expenses.

In addition to providing access to medical services, the coalition runs programs to improve health equity, including outreach for COVID education and vaccination, hospital collaboration on response efforts, and community health initiatives such as face mask and flu shot campaigns. It also administers Silver Access ACA Premium Assistance to help residents obtain more affordable insurance options, and operates the DuPage Dispensary of Hope, a free pharmacy offering a wide range of medications. These efforts are aimed at reducing emergency department use among participants and addressing the broader issue of underinsurance in the region.
