Mission Statement

Health Leads envisions a healthcare system that addresses all patients' basic resource needs as a standard part of quality care.

Health Leads’ mission is to catalyze this healthcare system by connecting patients with the basic resources they need to be healthy, and in doing so, build leaders with the conviction and ability to champion quality care for all patients.

Description

Health Leads is a national movement that mobilizes the nation’s undergraduates to provide high-impact services to low-income families and, in the process, to transform our healthcare system into one that is more effective and more just.

Health Leads Chicago was founded in 2006 and works in partnership with the Univeristy of Chicago, University of Illinois at Chicago, and the Chicago Family Health Center. Last year, more than 70 volunteers served more than 1000 families.
