Community Health Partnership of Illinois (CHP) is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) whose mission is to build and deliver quality, culturally responsive healthcare to our patients, caregivers and the communities we serve. CHP empowers individuals, including the uninsured, underserved, migrants and seasonal agricultural workers, to attain their best health and well-being. Our network is comprised of six health and dental clinics and multiple outreach sites across northern and central Illinois. Our services are designed to create access to quality primary care services for the uninsured and underserved. The vast majority, 99 percent of CHP patients, live in low-income households (less than 200 percent of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL)) with over two-thirds (67.2%) of families that live with poverty-level incomes (100% FPL). Three-quarters of our CHP patients do not have health insurance, which is in alignment with our mission that no one is denied services based on their inability to pay.
