Junk food effects on your body
Eating too much junk food may taste good, but it can harm your body in many ways. It leads to obesity, heart problems, diabetes, and even increases the risk of cancer.
Over time, it drains your energy, weakens your immune system, and affects your mood. Choose fresh, homemade, and nutritious foods to keep your body and mind healthy.

IAMACF offers free primary care to members of the community. The free health clinic is primarily run by volunteers including physicians, medical students, translators, as well as a handful of employees. In addition to primary care, we offer specialty clinics, targets programs, lifestyle workshops, free (limited) pharmacy services, and lab testing.
IAMACF is also a teaching clinic for medical students from six of our areaโs medical schools, including the Chicago Medical School, Loyola University, Northwestern University, Rush University, University of Chicago, and University of Illinois at Chicago.
We are always looking for ways to improve our ability to serve the community.
The Community We Serve
The West Ridge community is home to one of the most culturally diverse communities, as it is a gateway to numerous immigrant and refugee populations in Chicago. The free clinic serves low-income populations, who are uninsured and under-served, in that they have no affordable or culturally competent medical facility for their healthcare needs. While we largely serve a South Asian population, anyone and everyone is welcome at the IAMACF clinic.
