What is the Service Provider Resource Directory?

SPIDER is a reliable and comprehensive directory of critical health services in Illinois, is the product of a partnership between Northwestern’s Feinberg School of Medicine and DCFS and is searchable by zip code. The Service Provider Identification & Exploration Resource (SPIDER) application is a collaborative effort sponsored by the IL Department of Children & Family Services, Northwestern University/Hospital Feinberg School of Medicine, the IL Department of Innovation and Technology, and countless child and family welfare service providers across the state of Illinois. Collaboration between these organizations, the SPIDER Team, and technical/IT support has been a key factor in keeping this resource operational, accurate, and useful to our users.
