Overview

This Community Health Center seeks a Spanish-speaking Nurse Practitioner to provide primary care services to patients in all life cycles in a medical home model. The Nurse Practitioner will prevent disease, help patients learn about healthy choices, and treat disease and illness.

This Community Health Center (CHC) primarily serves the Chicago communities of Austin, Belmont-Cragin, Dunning, East Garfield Park, Hermosa, Humboldt Park, Logan Square, Montclare, New City, North Lawndale, Portage Park, West Garfield Park, West Town, and the near west suburbs of Berwyn, Cicero, Maywood, Melrose Park, and Oak Park.

This CHC began in 1980 as the Parent Child Center, a three-room clinic at West Suburban Medical Center that offered prenatal, postpartum, and infant care for underserved residents of Chicago’s Austin community. In 1992, this CHC attained the status of a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) look-alike in 1994 and received full FQHC recognition in 2002. Since then, we have grown to encompass thirteen health centers, serving West Side Chicago and the near west suburbs. 

Most of our sites are family health centers, offering a full range of services for all ages. We also operate a medical clinic inside a respite shelter for people who are homeless, a school-based health center in Belmont-Cragin, a community farm in Austin, and northern Illinois’ only freestanding birth center, in Berwyn.
