Inclusive Care Services
Primary Care Services
Primary Care Services support patients through affirming, family-centered preventative care and chronic disease management, from birth through adulthood.
Chronic Disease Management
We provide general care, including monitoring of chronic conditions, such as asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, and more at our various Primary Care clinics.
Family & Community Medicine
For people who choose to parent, UI Health offers affirming, family-centered well-child and acute care visits from birth to adulthood.
Gender Affirmation Surgery
The Gender Affirmation Surgery Program understands that transitioning is a journey that begins long before your surgical procedure. Each transition is a personal, distinct experience that involves a myriad of factors: psychological, hormonal, aesthetic, legal, and more.
Fertility & Reproduction
The Center for Reproductive Health offers safe, confidential care for people who seek family-planning advice and contraception counseling.
Behavioral Health
Our Psychiatry Services and Mile Square Health Center locations provide care for all behavioral and mental health needs, including those that are unique to LGBTQ+ individuals.
HIV Care & Management
The UI Health Community Clinic Network provides HIV care services throughout Chicagoland, including Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) HIV-prevention services.
LGBTQ+ Patient Navigation
UI Health is committed to improving the health outcomes of LGBTQ+ patients. Our LGBTQ+ Patient Navigator works to address the concerns of patients and advocates for systemic changes within our health system to help eliminate the health disparities that LGBTQ+ patients face.
