Located on Chicago's near west side in the Illinois Medical District, our clinic cares for residents of St. Leonard’s and Grace House who are usually formerly incarcerated individuals or have received recent treatment of substance use disorders. Our clinic manages chronic and episodic health needs and fill gaps as residents work toward establishing primary care providers for the time when they leave St. Leonard’s. In the case of extended incarcerations, we provide assistance for navigation of the current healthcare system, including: how to use insurance, fill prescriptions and steps to make routine appointments.
