Chicago, Illinois

The Chicago Children’s Health Project (CCHP) provides services to children living in medically underserved neighborhoods on Chicago’s South Side, where student compliance does not reach desired goals. The program brings students into compliance with basic health requirements by performing school physicals, sports physicals, immunizations and more. CCHP staff use these initial visits to make children and families aware of the program’s array of services.

Available Services:

• Physical examinations and immunizations;
• Management of acute and chronic illnesses;
• Laboratory tests;
• Screenings for nutritional risk and obesity;
• Subspecialty referrals;
• Adolescent services;
• Vision and hearing testing;
• Health education for students, teachers, and parents;
• Psychosocial screening for adolescents;
• Social work services including mental health screenings, triage, counseling, and mental health education; and
• Assistance with State Child Health Insurance enrollment.
