Project Description

LCHC used $24 million NMTC investment to build a 65,000 sq. ft. Health and Fitness Center in the North Lawndale community. The Center addresses North Lawndale’s immediate and long-term health care needs by providing 32 more exam rooms, 15 dental chairs, and 7,000 medical visits per year. Furthermore, the facility sees 200,000 wellness visits per year and added 876 sq. ft. of pharmacy space. LCHC’s programs focus on providing holistic care. Instead of addressing a patient’s needs in the form of silos of care, LCHC is coordinating services to address the physical, spiritual, and mental needs that must be taken into account in order for the patient to truly be considered healthy.
