What’s happening?

The Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) is committed to helping residents live healthier, longer lives. In collaboration with real people—our communities, community-based organizations, city agencies, and many other partners—we create events, programs, and provide resources that promote overall well-being, provide health protection options, and support healing, prevention and recovery.

CDPH's vision is really simple: Everyone in Chicago thrives and achieves their optimal health and wellness. Of course we understand that “healthy” looks different for everyone, but seriously, whatever healthy means to you, we’re here to support you.

Please note while attending our events: 1. have fun, these are welcoming spaces and we are happy you are here 2. take the opportunity to have deep conversations with trusted sources like your neighborhood Community Health Worker 3. feel safe and confident that you are receiving guidance from licensed medical providers, nurses, wellness practitioners, leaders, and advocates.
