CommunityHealth, the nation’s largest volunteer-based free health center, has opened its fourth location in the Back of the Yards neighborhood. The new clinic, funded by the AbbVie Foundation, a nonprofit working to drive transformative change in communities worldwide so that everyone can live their healthiest life, is a partnership with The Resurrection Project, a social impact organization dedicated to creating community ownership, building wealth, and providing resources to Chicago’s southwest neighborhoods, at their Casa Hidalgo location.
This new microsite clinic will offer a variety of essential healthcare services, including doctor visits, lab work, medication pickup, and referrals to dental and specialty care to uninsured and underinsured adults in the neighborhood.
“We are rethinking space and place for point of care to ensure that every Chicago resident has a door to access high-quality health care closer to home. CommunityHealth is proud to partner with The Resurrection Project, who provide not only essential resources, but also a critical voice, for the community we both serve,” CommunityHealth CEO Steph Willding said.
The opening of this new microsite is part of CommunityHealth’s ongoing commitment to improving health equity and access to care in Chicago. CommunityHealth hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony on March 17, 2025, at 12:00 PM.
