Educate and Advocate for Access to Health Services

HomeEducate and Advocate for Access to Health Services

Healthy communities can’t exist without healthy families—which is why The Resurrection Project works to ensure that our families have adequate access to health services.

 

CommunityHealth, the nation’s largest volunteer-based free health center, is excited to announce the opening of its fourth location. 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.  

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.”

ELLAS

An initiative of TRP, ELLAS(En La Lucha a Sobrevivir, or In the Fight to Survive) is a breast cancer awareness and support group for women who have survived or are being treated for breast cancer. Founded in 2012 by a group of local women, ELLAS was started as an effort to bridge the health gap for uninsured and undocumented women diagnosed with breast cancer. The mission of ELLAS is to improve the quality of life for cancer survivors by creating a space for women where they can find moral support, resources for their recovery and return to a normal life through education, patient navigation, political advocacy and leadership development.

ELLAS members regularly coordinate breast cancer education workshops, reaching thousands of community members annually through this awareness campaign. They also knit and sell breast prostheses for other survivors.
