Lchc, now a federally qualified community Health Center, serves six economically distressed communities (north lawndale, south lawndale, east garfield park, west garfield park, archer heights, and brighton park) on chicago's west side. Lchc works out of seven sites to provide access to a full spectrum of affordable, high quality primary health…

Maternal and child health program provides case management to mothers at-risk for complicated pregnancies and provides education on parenting and relationships. The chronic care program emphasizes disease management, health and nutrition education, and physical fitness in eight key areas…
Pharmaceutical services are provided to the same population filling over 180,000 prescriptions annually. These services are available only to lchc patients thereby giving our residents access to 340b pricing which is the lowest possible cost for a given medicine. The pharmacy team also provides a counselor whose primary responsibility is to coordinate the completion of applications that various manufacturers provide as part of their own charity care programs which allows those patients who qualify for further reduced or free medicine
