PCC Community Wellness Center (PCC) began in 1980 as the Parent Child Center, a three-room clinic at West Suburban Medical Center that offered prenatal, postpartum, and infant care for underserved residents of Chicago’s Austin community. In 1992, PCC was incorporated as an independent, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. PCC attained the status of a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) look-alike in 1994 and received full FQHC recognition from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Health Resources and Services Administration in 2002. Since then, PCC has grown to encompass thirteen health centers, serving West Side Chicago and the near west suburbs. PCC provides inpatient care at West Suburban Medical Center and Norwegian American Hospital.
