Health Center Program - Health Center Cluster - Website: www. esperanzachicago.org Service Area ID Number: 300, Chicago IL Number of unduplicated patients projected to be served in calendar year 2025: 16,343 Section 330 Program Funding Requested: $2,401,070 Esperanza Health Centers was established in 2004 when residents of Chicagoâ€™s predominantly Mexican neighborhood of Little Village joined forces with a local hospital to rectify the health inequities prevalent on Chicagoâ€™s Southwest side. The founders envisioned a health center serving all community residents regardless of income, insurance, or immigration status in a patient-centered, culturally respectful environment. Esperanza is that dream come to fruition. Esperanza became an FQHC Look-Alike in 2005 and a Section 330 funded health center in 2012. The organization has grown considerably since then, and today operates five clinics across Chicagoâ€™s Southwest side, with two more scheduled to open by the end of 2023. We also operate a family medicine residency program, in collaboration with Rush University Medical Center, where we train the next generation of physicians to provide community-centered care. In 2024 weâ€™ll open one of Illinoisâ€™s first PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) Centers. The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) designated Esperanza a National Quality Leader in 2015, 2016, and 2018, and 2019, and last year awarded us a Health Center Quality Leader gold medal, a distinction given to only 4 of Illinoisâ€™s 45 FQHCs. Esperanzaâ€™s service area encompasses low-income, predominantly Latinx neighborhoods. Nearly all of our service area is designated both a Primary Care Professional and Mental Health Care Professional Shortage Area, according to UDS Mapper. Our service area sees high rates of obesity, asthma, and other chronic illnesses, according to Chicago Department of Public Health data. Moreover, mental health issues, especially among children and youth, have emerged as critical concerns. The COVID-19 pandemic heightened the need for health services in our service area, which experienced some of the highest COVID-19 case and death rates in the city. The socio-economic challenges faced by residents in Esperanza's service area are substantial. According to UDS Mapper, almost 200,000 residents in our service area live in low-income households (98.99% of our patients fall under this threshold). In addition, over 90% of our patients identify as Hispanic/Latinx, and nearly 70% state they are best served by a Spanish-speaking medical provider. The need for our services is further demonstrated by the Chicago Department of Public Healthâ€™s Hardship Index. The Hardship Index is a composite measure, scored from 0 to 100, incorporating unemployment, age dependency, education, per capita income, crowded housing, and poverty. Our core zip codes score alarmingly high â€“ 60608 (71.9), 60609 (83.0), 60623 (91.3), 60629 (87.8), and 60632 (87.4), 60636 (93.4) â€“ reflecting the formidable socioeconomic challenges faced by our community. In stark contrast, better-resourced community areas like Lincoln Park and Near North Side boast significantly lower Hardship Indexes of 2.5 and 3.5 respectively. To meet the needs of area residents, Esperanza offers primary care, behavioral health, psychiatry, and a wide range of wellness services, from diabetes management to centering pregnancy to insurance enrollment assistance. We serve all patients, regardless of ability to pay, and all but one of our medical providers are bilingual in English and Spanish. With over 80 providers in specialties including family medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics/gynecology/midwifery, psychiatry, and counseling, Esperanza delivers health and hope for underserved communities every day.
