The Erie Promise

To deliver quality health care to Chicago’s medically underserved communities with compassion and respect.

To serve our patients in an environment that is warm, welcoming and comfortable.

To promote wellness through health education and preventive care, so that our patients can lead healthier, happier lives.

About Erie

Since 1957, when the Erie Family Health Center was first established as a volunteer clinic by doctors from Northwestern Memorial Hospital, it has been Erie’s mission to ensure that all Chicagoans have access to high quality, culturally sensitive, bilingual health care services — regardless of their ability to pay. Today, Erie serves over 34,000 patients annually at eleven sites, including five school-based health centers, a teen health center and two oral health centers.

Our Mission

At Erie Family Health Center, we believe health care is a right, not a privilege. Our mission is to provide accessible, affordable and high quality health care for those in need.

Did you know?

More than 1.8 million Illinois residents do not have adequate health care coverage — and 1.3 million uninsured or underinsured individuals live in the Chicago metro area. Erie Family Health Center provides high quality medical, behavioral and dental services for approximately 33,000 uninsured and underinsured Chicagoans each year.
