Public Health Institute of Metropolitan Chicago (PHIMC) is proud to advance health justice and strengthen public health through innovation and partnerships that align people, strategies, and resources. PHIMC envisions systems that impact how we live, work, and play as compassionate, affirming, and racially equitable, supporting health and well‐being for all people. For 30 years, PHIMC has worked alongside partners throughout Illinois, including nonprofit organizations, community-based organizations, cross-sector government agencies, and other institutions, to bridge gaps, leverage resources, and address oppressive policies that hurt people. Through these comprehensive partnerships, we transform systems.
