Wellness Homes of Chicago provides important wellness & health resources through a variety of programs and partnerships. We believe the assets needed to promote wellness should be distributed equally to all Chicagoans, regardless of background or social determinants.
Wellness Homes of Chicago develops and manages community-based programs that break through barriers to providing wellness & health services to ALL Chicagoans. Take a look at a few of our ongoing efforts programs to confront the inequality, disparity, and inequity of primary health care services throughout Chicago, and beyond.
At Wellness Home, we are committed to an integrative approach to healthcare, utilizing different kinds of providers and specialists collaborating for treatment. This model combines a wide range of care provisions, emphasizing a global view of the patient's wellness and health to serve the needs of their Mind, Body, and Soul. An excellent example of a condition that necessitates an investigative healthcare method is Obesity, and our GetFit Weight Loss & Management Program is a comprehensive approach to address weight-related medical conditions.
Wellness Home Behavioral Health locations are strategically located in close proximity to Wellness Home sites providing Primary or Immediate Health Care services to collaborate seamlessly to provide true Integrative Wellness & Health Services. This allows us to deliver on our commitment to provide care for the Mind, Body, and Soul of our clients.
The Wellness Homes Initiative began in 2018 to respond to troubling discrepancies in medical care throughout Chicago, which have led to massive inequities in health outcomes. There are many reasons for this phenomenon, many of which are extremely complicated and have long, troubling histories. Learn more about how our Wellness Homes are making a difference.
