CHHC

CHHC, the Chicago Hispanic Health Coalition, is dedicated to promoting healthy behavior and preventing chronic disease and health disparities in the Hispanic communities of metropolitan Chicago. With a rich history dating back to 1991, CHHC has been a trusted source of culturally appropriate health education and policy development. As a multi-disciplinary membership organization, CHHC collaborates with over 600 local health and social service agencies, universities, and community-based organizations to improve health outcomes for the Hispanic population.

CHHC offers a range of programs, including the DIABETES EMPOWERMENT TRAINING PROGRAM and the ¡Vive tu Vida! annual health fair. Additionally, they provide resources and support for smoking cessation through their Today Is A Great Day to Quit! program.
