The new location’s addition is the result of a partnership between Promise Healthcare and C-UPHD, designed to remove barriers to care by bringing services directly to where people live, work, and gather.
“Through our partnership with the Champaign-Urbana Public Health District, we are uniting our strengths to better serve the community,” said Jennifer Henry, CEO of Promise Healthcare. “Promise Healthcare will
provide high-quality medical and behavioral health services, while CUPHD continues to deliver its vital
public health programs, including prevention, education, and community outreach. Together, we are creating a trusted, central location where families can access comprehensive care, reduce barriers, and improve overall health and well-being.”
The facility, as a Federally Qualified Health Center, Promise Healthcare accepts most insurance plans, including Medicaid and Medicare. For patients without insurance, a sliding fee scale is available based on income and family size. Promise Healthcare treats all patients, regardless of their ability to pay.
