As we wrap up 2025, our team at Worry Free Community is continuing our mission to expand access to health coverage, empower volunteers, and support families through free clinics and community programs.

Our team is offering free, in‑person assistance at six different locations, including our latest addition in northside Chicago at the Pakamerican Service Center. See the enrollment locations map for addresses. • New volunteer sessions began on December 6 for anyone interested in community health or becoming a certified health worker. • Free clinics continue at our Oak Lawn and Carol Stream locations for uninsured and underinsured patients. Your support makes our work possible — whether you choose to volunteer, advocate, participate, or donate. Every action helps build a healthier, more equitable community.
