Since 1997, with two community health centers (TCA Health, Inc. and Chicago Family Health Center), HCI has served as the lead agency for Healthy Start Southeast Chicago, a federally funded infant mortality reduction project that provides services to expectant parents and their infants/toddlers. As such, HCI is responsible for coordinating and administering the program that targets six communities on the Southeast side of Chicago where the infant mortality rate is more that twice the state of Illinois’ overall rate. There have been over 3,500 women who have enrolled in the program since its inception. (Pullman, West Pullman, Riverdale, South Deering, South Chicago, Roseland)
