Who We Are

The Center for Faith and Community Health Transformation

The Center for Faith and Community Health Transformation is a partnership that was formed to transform the health of our communities through faith-rooted, collaborative action.

Since 2009, we have worked with a broad range of partners and colleagues in the faith and health movement to explore deeper ways of addressing the health inequities that affect many of our communities. We embrace love as a powerful resource that already exists in communities and that can be nurtured and mobilized intentionally to transform the systems that affect the well-being of people who live there.  We know that our social environment affects our bodies, so we work for positive, connected, loving communities where all people can be healthy!

We are a joint initiative of Faith and Health Partnerships at Advocate Health Care and the Office for Community Engagement and Neighborhood Health Partnerships at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC).
