CommunityHealth, a volunteer-based FREE health clinic on Chicago's West Side, opened its doors in 1993. The clinic represents a grassroots response to the enormous and rapidly increasing number of medically uninsured people in Illinois. We are especially unique in that patient care is rendered by volunteer health professionals - - over 350 volunteers, 120 of whom are physicians, conduct approximately 14,000 pro-bono patient care visits annually.

Since our doors opened we have provided over 72,500 free patient visits. Today we operate six days a week, including four evenings and Saturdays. Over 85 percent of our patients are return patients who look to us as their primary source of care.

CommunityHealth's patients are extremely vulnerable: ? All lack health insurance coverage ? An estimated 80% come from working households, yet all are poor, at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level ? 18% are children ? Over 80% are from minority populations, of which 70% are Hispanic ? Most are new immigrants and do not speak English ? Nearly all face educational, linguistic and cultural barriers to health care ? Many travel great distances to receive care at CommunityHealth, with over 64% residing in outlying neighborhoods ? The majority have put off seeking early, medical care because they cannot afford it or are afraid to seek care in a new surrounding.

It is remarkable that in 2003, with just over 16 'full time equivalent' employees, CommunityHealth:

1) provided over 14,000 pro-bono patient visits via our standard clinic session format, and an estimated 2,000 additional visits rendered through our educational programs;

2) dispensed over $985,684 worth of FREE medications from our dispensary;

3) conducted 7,560 FREE laboratory procedures; and,

4) trained over 255 medical students and 170 residents.

More than 90% of CommunityHealth's patient visits are by appointment. Our services include: preventive, primary and illness care; women's health services; clinical laboratory testing; comprehensive diabetic care; 'take-home' medications and diabetic supplies; school exams and immunizations; social services and case/referral management; specialty services [cardiology, dermatology, gynecology, nephrology, ophthalmology, pediatrics, podiatry, psychiatry, physical therapy rheumatology and surgery]; patient education; and, testing, counseling and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases.

Due to lack of accessible alternative sources of care for an estimated 1.3 million uninsured in greater Chicago, our clinic serves as a citywide resource. Please know too, that CommunityHealth does not provide services to people with Medicaid or Medicare, as these government programs are health insurance programs. Patients who come to CommunityHealth literally have nowhere else to go.

Fact Sheet

CommunityHealth is a volunteer-based free health clinic that provides basic healthcare to people without health insurance and to persons with a family income less than 200 percent of the Federal Poverty Level. Dr. Serafino Garella and other concerned individuals founded CommunityHealth in 1993. CommunityHealth is a unique health clinic in relation to other clinics in Chicago because of two major reasons: CommunityHealth receives no government funding and its primary work force is volunteers. In 1999, volunteers performed 93% of all patient services.

? Over 360 volunteers staff CommunityHealth. Volunteers perform clerical, interpreting, nursing, over medical, legal, and social service duties.

? CommunityHealth has had over 42,000 visits since the clinic opened in 1993.

? CommunityHealth's patient visits have grown by 500 percent since it's opening in 1993.

CommunityHealth Volunteer Opportunities Volunteers are an enormous component of CommunityHealth's success. There are volunteer opportunities available for everyone.
