Story

Dear friends, I am running as part of Team Esperanza at the Chicago Marathon this year. The purpose is to raise enough funds to collectively help 100 uninsured patients this year to have access to high-quality medical care regardless of their immigration status, income, or place of origin.

My goal with the team is to raise $1750 by October 30th—enough funds to provide complete medical care to seven uninsured patients, which includes laboratory services.

All of your donations will go directly to Esperanza.

Thank you very much for your help.

A little bit more about Esperanza Center:

In 2004, residents of the neighborhoods of Pilsen and Little Village on Chicago’s Southwest Side joined administrators from nearby Saint Anthony Hospital to address the critical lack of accessible health services in the area. They opened a community health center on South California Avenue called Esperanza, the Spanish word for “hope.”

Since then, Esperanza has provided bilingual, high quality primary care, behavioral health and wellness services to the community, regardless of immigration status, insurance status, or ability to pay. Our five sites in Brighton Park, Little Village, Marquette Park, South Lawndale and West Lawn deliver care to more than 50,000 patients each year from communities across the Southwest Side.

Our commitment to offering care of the highest quality is made clear by our designation as a National Quality Leader by HRSA in 2016, 2017, 2019, and 2020, which ranks Esperanza among the top 3% of health centers in the nation and the top two in Illinois for our quality of care.

Acá un poco más sobre la historia de Esperanza Health Centers:

En 2004, los residentes del barrio de Little Village, de bajos ingresos y mayoritariamente latino, se unieron a los administradores del cercano hospital Saint Anthony para hacer frente a la grave falta de servicios sanitarios accesibles en el Southwest Side. Al darse cuenta de que miles de residentes carecían de servicios médicos de calidad y dependían del servicio de urgencias para recibir atención rutinaria, decidieron abrir una clínica de atención primaria en South California Avenue y llamarla Esperanza.

Hoy en día, con cinco centros y un equipo de casi 300 personas, Esperanza es uno de los Centros de Salud Calificados Federalmente más respetados de Estados Unidos, que ofrece atención accesible y bilingüe a más de 25.000 pacientes cada año. Desde medicina para adultos, salud de la mujer y pediatría hasta servicios de salud conductual y programas de bienestar, Esperanza satisface las necesidades de su comunidad con innovación y un firme compromiso con la calidad. Esperanza es hoy reconocida como Líder Nacional en Calidad por el Health Resource.
