They were founded on a powerful idea: that healthcare could serve communities that had been abandoned by the system.

Near North Health was founded in 1966, one of the earliest community health centers in Chicago.

We envision Near North Health as a model for health without limits and care without barriers – creating stronger communities through trust, compassion, and access. By fostering transformative relationships and meaningful partnerships, we empower individuals and families to thrive. 

“I am Near North Health. In every interaction, I see you, I respect you, and I follow through.”

This is Our Commitment to every person who walks through our doors because you deserve the highest-quality, patient-centered care delivered with service excellence.
