Urban Health Initiative

Patient Care: Expanding access to quality, primary health care

What People Are Saying about the Urban Health Initiative

It’s important to have a primary doctor to help maintain and manage our health. We need to know certain numbers such as our weight, cholesterol, blood sugar levels and blood pressure so we can ward off certain diseases – the silent killer high blood pressure, for example. When we are in partnership with a primary care physician, we are aware of these conditions and it helps keep us well.

With the increasing rise of HPV, obesity, HIV, heart disease, diabetes and other chronic health aliments that negatively impact minority groups on the South Side of Chicago, it is vital to get a regular doctor….I always tell patients, “What you don’t know can hurt you, so please get a primary care doctor.”
