CommunityHealth

CommunityHealth is one of the largest volunteer-based health centers in the nation. The work that we do is dependent on volunteers, and could not be possible without them.

Happy Volunteer Appreciation Month to all the wonderful volunteers that allow CommunityHealth to strive!

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.

Our outreach worker Daniel held a Healthy Homes workshop in Spanish at our Enlace microsite today! We had 30 attendees, and our partners from Elevate were there as well to answer any questions patients may have about the home renovations. Attendees received goodie bags with home essentials!

Our next Healthy Homes workshop will be this Saturday, March 25th from 10 AM - 12 PM at Enlace.

Our Heath Education team member Zeneida spent her time earlier this week at the Colombian Consulate, acting as a representative of CommunityHealth! At the consulate, she distributed materials and spoke about the services CommunityHealth offers.

Thank you to everyone who joined Community in Action!

It was a fun and inspiring evening, and the CommunityHealth Associate Board is truly grateful to everyone who joined us and helped make the event so special.

The event was a powerful reminder of what can happen when community comes together to contribute to a shared mission.

Congratulations to Maddy, awarded February's Volunteer of the Month at CommunityHealth!

Maddy joins us as a lab technician and lab shift leader and was a key player in ensuring adequate coverage and leadership in the lab last month, for which we are so grateful. Thank you for everything you do, Maddy!
