Thresholds Health, a new full-service primary care health center to serve communities on the west side of Chicago, has opened its doors. Specializing in the integration of primary, behavioral health, substance use care, and other needs, Thresholds Health will service both existing Thresholds clients and members of the Austin-area community. The health center is located at 5801 W. Corcoran Place, Chicago 60644. Edward Murphy is the CEO of Thresholds Health. Led by Murphy, Thresholds Health’s mission is to be both a place that warmly welcomes people with complex behavioral and medical conditions to receive high-quality care regardless of their ability to pay, and the place that provides support with housing, access to nutritious foods, and other health-related needs. Thresholds Health is striving to make the process of accessing help as easy as possible, so when a person is ready, the care they need is available.  The goal for Thresholds Health also includes partnering with other organizations to better serve clients. Thresholds Health opened on the foundation of Thresholds’ decades long mental health outreach program on the west side and Thresholds’ Austin Apartments, providing mental health care and permanent, supported housing for the organization’s clients. Thresholds Health will open in the same building as the first health care provider associated directly with Thresholds. Thresholds Health serves a broader population than Thresholds – aiming to serve patients in the community from children to senior citizens, and to be their health care home.
