All of our Impactful Community Services are proudly offered through Baal Perazim Wellness, Inc., a dedicated 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The name “Baal Perazim” itself, meaning “place of breakthrough,” embodies the very essence of our mission within the community. Just as the biblical Baal Perazim was a site of significant victory and advancement, our initiatives are designed to break through barriers to healthcare access and create pathways to improved well-being for underserved populations.
Our Impactful Community Services department is dedicated to performing in-depth research into local health disparities. By meticulously understanding the unique challenges faced by various communities, we develop targeted initiatives designed to directly address these inequities and foster health equity. We are committed to achieving breakthroughs in access, understanding, and outcomes, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
Our current impactful initiatives, embodying this spirit of breakthrough, include:
Recognizing that access to healthcare can be a significant challenge for seniors, the SourceOut Senior Housing Program strategically places wellness homes within senior living dwellings. This innovative approach represents a breakthrough in delivering essential wellness services directly to residents who might otherwise face difficulties accessing care due to mobility issues, transportation limitations, or other barriers. By embedding our services within their living environments, we aim to break through the obstacles that hinder their access to quality care, enhancing their health, well-being, and independence.
We are proud to present the 2025 Maleness Health & Wellness Summit, a groundbreaking initiative spearheaded by Baal Perazim Wellness, Inc. and Wellness Homes of Chicago. This summit marks a significant first, providing a dedicated platform to specifically promote the health and wellness of Black gay, bisexual, and transgender men. Recognizing the urgent need to break through the systemic challenges and disparities faced by this community, particularly in light of current challenges and political attacks on their rights and well-being, this summit aims to be a vital resource. It will foster connection, provide crucial education, and empower individuals within this community to prioritize their health and well-being, paving the way for positive change and improved outcomes.
