At CommunityHealth, we understand the tremendous needs of the uninsured population in Chicago– a population that continues to grow in today’s economic climate. Thanks to an innovative and highly effective model supported by volunteerism, philanthropy and partnerships, CommunityHealth will provide 30,000 medical and dental visits at our West Town location this year for over 9,000 patients. physicians, nurses, dentists, counselors, donors (individuals, foundations, corporations, etc.) and various institutional (e.g. hospitals, medical schools, universities/graduate programs) and community partners recognize the critical role that CommunityHealth is playing in the health of those in our society who would otherwise go without care they need. While primary care is the cornerstone of our mission, CommunityHealth is a full service, appointment-based medical home providing more than 20 specialty services (from cardiology to ultrasound), health education, case management and social work (available both on-site and through formal referral partners). All exams, labs and medications (through our on-site MedAccess Chicago pharmacy) are at no cost to the patient. Find us on Twitter () and LinkedIn (CommunityHealth)!

CommunityHealth attended the CARES Community Center Groundbreaking Ceremony yesterday to support our microsite partners, Onward Neighborhood House

In the CARES Center, CommunityHealth at Onward House will expand to multiple exam rooms, a waiting area, a permanent behavioral health office, a kitchen, and become co-located with several other health organizations.

Congresswoman Delia Ramierz, Representative Eva-Dina Delgado, Representative Will Guzzardi, Senator Omar Aquino, Senator Graciela Guzman, Alderman Ruth Cruz, staffer from Alderman Felix Cardona's office, along with other Chicago leaders, were in attendance.

The new community center will impact the well-being of the Belmont Cragin neighborhood and beyond! CommunityHealth is thrilled to be part of it, and the buildout of our clinic space in the new building is made possible by Lundbeck.
