COMMUNITYHEALTH TO OPEN FREE HEALTH CLINIC IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE RESURRECTION PROJECT IN CHICAGO’S BACK OF THE YARDS NEIGHBORHOOD

[Chicago, IL: MARCH 2025]  –CommunityHealth, the nation’s largest volunteer-based free health center, is excited to announce the opening of its fourth location, CommunityHealth at The Resurrection Project (TRP), on March 17, 2025. The new clinic will be located at The Resurrection Project’s Casa Hidalgo location in Chicago’s Back of the Yards neighborhood. 

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. 

According to Chicago Health Atlas, 29% of Chicago residents are living in poverty, and nearly 1 in 5 do not have health insurance. A goal of CommunityHealth’s clinic and microsites is to lower this disparity.  

This expansion is a partnership between CommunityHealth and The Resurrection Project, a social impact organization dedicated to creating community ownership, building wealth, and providing resources to Chicago’s southwest neighborhoods.  

“We are deeply committed to providing critical services to families in the communities we serve. Providing healthcare through our partnership with CommunityHealth, especially to the most vulnerable, is critical to the well being of the Back of the Yards neighborhood.” said Raul I. Raymundo, CEO and Co-Founder of The Resurrection Project. “This partnership reflects the mission of both organizations committed to investing in the health of families and communities across the city.”

The opening of this new microsite is part of CommunityHealth’s ongoing commitment to improving health equity and access to care in Chicago. To mark the occasion, CommunityHealth will hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony on March 17, 2025, at 12:00 PM. The event will took place at Casa Hidalgo, 4600 S. Wood St., Chicago, IL.
