Founded in 1993, CommunityHealth is dedicated to serving the uninsured and underserved in Chicago and surrounding communities. We provide over 17,000 medical and dental visits for more than 10,000 patients every year. This level of care is made possible thanks to the time and talent of more than 1,000 volunteers, including 350+ providers (physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, dentists, pharmacists, counselors, etc.).

CommunityHealth’s main facility, the Lederman Family Health Center, is located in Chicago’s West Town neighborhood. In 2010, we opened a satellite in Chicago’s south side Englewood neighborhood — a community with great need and limited resources. As the largest volunteer-based free medical facility in the United States, we offer demonstrated success and an innovative model for providing compassionate and comprehensive medical and dental care to the uninsured. 

If you are interested in supporting CommunityHealth, you can be sure that your donation is truly making a difference. That’s because every dollar we spend translates to more than $8.00 in care delivered. As a totally free, volunteer-based organization, we receive no reimbursement from Medicare, Medicaid, or third-party payers. We rely on support from individuals, foundations, corporations, and institutions for more than 95% of our revenue. CommunityHealth simply could not exist without your commitment.

The Medical Interpretation and Support team at CommunityHealth plays a crucial role in enhancing communication between healthcare providers and patients who have limited English proficiency. This team of dedicated volunteers, including medical interpreters for various languages such as Spanish and Polish, ensures that patients fully understand their medical care, fostering an inclusive and accessible healthcare environment. Their efforts help bridge language barriers, thereby contributing to the quality and effectiveness of care provided to the uninsured and underserved communities.
