Company OverviewNear North Health Service Corporation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). It is one of the largest providers of community-based primary care in Chicago. We provide health care, social services and nutrition education to the medically indigent and uninsured residents of the Near North side (Cabrini Green), West Town, Humboldt Park, West Garfield Park, Austin, Kenwood/Oakland, Douglas and Grand Boulevard, and Uptown communities.Over the years, Near North Health Service Corporation has been called upon to expand in the face of increasingly diverse community needs. Our first clinic was housed within the Olivet Community Center, more than forty years ago. However, the unique approach to health care that we began back then has proven itself to be a strong foundation that has withstood the test of time. Our philosophy reflects an approach that anticipates community needs and plans for expansions that are developed in accordance to these needs. Throughout our continuous evolution, we are happy to report that not only have our methods held up under the intense new demands of ever-changing communities, but also we have come through with shining results. We are proud to report that our successes now serve as a national model for excellence in community-oriented primary health care. Near North Health Service Corporation (NNHSC) targets a primary service area that is spread across many of Chicago's 77 community areas, encompassing a population of more than 1,500,000. A full array of primary care clinical services and comprehensive social support programs are provided through six Near North community-based health centers. While disparate, NNHSC communities are characterized by large concentrations of CHA high rise apartments, abandoned residential buildings, blighted commercial properties, and an utter absence of basic services and health care resources. Mission: Near North Health Service Corporation (NNHSC) exists to improve the health and well-being of the people and community it serves. It operates programs and services using community primary care concepts, emphasizing prevention of illness and the promotion of healthy lifestyles. Services provided by NNHSC will focus on the medically underserved, and will be sensitive to the cultural and linguistic needs of the people it serves. Acknowledging that the environmental, social, and cultural factors influence one's health, its programs will empower individuals to be healthy through education and skill building. We will advocate for safe and healthy communities. NNHSC will play a role in educating and training medical and health care professionals in order to assure the accomplishment of its objective. The composition of the Board of Directors of NNHSC will be representative of the community it serves. Vision: To be recognized as the premiere community health center providing quality comprehensive health care services to the medically underserved. We will strive to provide 100% access with 0% disparity. Values: P-People R-Respect I-Integrity D-Discipline E-Excellence |
