by Tameka Crump, Practice Manager, Endeavor Health Community Health Center
Over the past five years, through NorthShore Hospitals Foundation’s Community Health Match, our donor family has come together to raise vital funds that have helped remove barriers to safe, high-quality healthcare for all.
This impact can be seen at the Endeavor Health Community Health Center (CHC) where donations from the Community Health Match directly benefit hundreds of patients and families.
Helping our neighbors
Each year, the CHC in Evanston serves as a healthcare home to over 3,000 neighbors who are experiencing poverty. But these efforts transcend mere medical treatment. The CHC treats the whole person — including their emotional and financial needs — creating a profound impact that reverberates throughout our communities.
Every day, CHC staff see firsthand how access to quality healthcare changes lives — helping families manage chronic conditions and providing essential preventive care. Donor support ensures no one is left behind due to financial hardship.
As the CHC Practice Manager, I witness the impact of that thoughtful care every day — and how donor support continues to bolster and expand this impact throughout the region.
Donations from generous donors in our community have helped us expand social work hours, distribute blood pressure cuffs and support patient transportation.
Philanthropy lifts up our community, and there’s an opportunity for everyone to get involved to help make a difference.
Making a difference
The fifth annual Community Health Match is happening throughout the month of June. Every gift to the Endeavor Health Community Health Center made by June 30 will be doubled by an anonymous local donor, up to $35,000.
Every dollar donated during the Community Health Match this year will be doubled. It’s an amazing opportunity to support crucial healthcare services in our community.
When our collective generosity grows, so can the CHC and its impact on everyone in our communities. Please join your North Shore neighbors with a donation before our match ends on June 30.
These efforts would not be possible without philanthropic support. We are powered by the generosity of donors who directly impact our ability to deliver on our commitment to community-connected care.
