About this organization
Mission
Our mission is to show and share the love of Jesus by promoting wellness and providing quality, affordable healthcare for Lawndale and the neighboring communities.
About
In the early 1980s, a group of Lawndale residents determined that the community desperately needed a laundromat and a health center. Working through Lawndale Christian Church, both the laundromat and Lawndale Christian Health Center (LCHC) were founded. LCHC, now a federally qualified community health center, serves six economically distressed communities (North Lawndale, South Lawndale, East Garfield Park, West Garfield Park, Archer Heights, and Brighton Park) on Chicago's west side. LCHC works out of seven sites to provide access to a full spectrum of affordable, high quality primary health care services to low-income patients. During fiscal year 2019, LCHC delivered primary care to more than 50,000 patients. These patients accounted for 149,434 medical visits in family practice, internal medicine, obstetrics/gynecology, pediatrics, and cardiology. In addition, there were 20,370 dental visits, 10,804 behavioral health visits and 5,130 optometry visits. Approximately 23% of these visits are paid for on a sliding scale by patients who have neither private nor public health insurance coverage. Another 53% of care is paid for by Medicaid, 7% by Medicare, 10% by commercial insurance and 7% by other.
