Greater Family Health applied and was successfully accepted to become a Federally Qualified Health Center in 2002. As a result, we then began receiving funding from the Bureau of Primary Health Care. Our Health Centers were originally created to serve the Elgin community, but over the years, we have successfully expanded to serve over 47 municipalities in Illinois through our 9 Health Centers.

Our patients have access to our team of over 80 Family Practice Providers, which include Pediatricians, OB/GYNs, Family Medicine Practitioners, Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, HIV Medicine Specialists, Internal Medicine Practitioners, Dentist, Dental Hygienist, Psychiatrists, Licensed Clinical Social Workers, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselors, and many more.

We provide high quality, respectful, and comprehensive care for all. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our Accreditation by The Joint Commission, which requires a rigorous, unannounced, on-site survey every three years. In addition, our patients experience and satisfaction with our services is of the utmost importance, for this reason we conduct Patient Satisfaction Surveys four times per year, and collect thousands of surveys each time, to continually analyze our services and make improvements where necessary. Our quarterly Patient Satisfaction Survey Results are openly shared with our patients and our community.

A common barrier for patients is navigating the health care system, our Integrated Health Care services make it easier to access care. Our Care Management team is critical in providing continuity of care; they assist patients’ access and coordinate care internally and with external resources. Additionally, we have a dedicated Diabetes Nurse Care Manager who works with our diabetic patients to ensure they are receiving the care they need.

We offer transportation reimbursement and translation services for those that may need these services. Since over 98% of our patients have incomes under 200% of the Federal Poverty Level, we offer a Sliding Fee Discount and provide services regardless of the patient’s ability to pay. In addition, we offer assistance to apply for health benefits and our patients may qualify for the 340B Drug Discount Program, through which they can have access to discounted pharmaceuticals.

Our patients are at the center of what we do. We provide you with essential services and resources for you and your family and we encourage you to make us your medical home. We accomplish this by offering Integrated Health Care.
