About us
PHIMC advances health justice and strengthens public health through innovation and partnerships that align people, strategies, and resources. We envision systems that impact how we live, work, and play that are compassionate, affirming, and racially equitable, supporting health and well‐being for all people. Public Health Institute of Metropolitan Chicago believes that the greatest possibilities for public health are achieved when organizations work together to bridge gaps, leverage resources, and address oppressive policies that hurt people. Through our comprehensive partnerships, we transform systems. PHIMC brings head and heart to our work as practitioners, advocates, educators, organizers, researchers, and thought partners. Our passion is fueled by the knowledge that our creative partnerships with other nonprofits, community‐based organizations, cross‐sector government agencies, and other institutions truly make the public’s health better. It is possible to have public health and healthcare systems that serve everyone. At PHIMC, we practice our core values of equity, authenticity, responsiveness, and togetherness.

Happy #InternationalPronounsDay! Let’s take today and every day to share, respect, and educate ourselves about personal pronouns in our social interactions, whether in the workplace, classroom, clinic, or beyond! Using the pronouns people identify for themselves is one step in providing affirming care and allowing them dignity. If you are unsure of what someone’s pronouns are: just ask. It’s easy! Here's an example: “Nice to meet you. I’m [Your Name], I use they/them pronouns. What pronouns do you use? #TGDWellness #GenderAffirmingCareIL

This year's theme is "Start Treatment. Stick to it. Get Better."
