Family Health Partnership Clinic

What Family Health Partnership Clinic does

Family Health Partnership Clinic (FHPC) is an independent 501c3 nonprofit free clinic headquartered in Crystal Lake, Illinois, founded in 1996 to serve uninsured adults who cannot access private insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare. It operates on a sliding fee scale — patients pay based on verified income and no one is turned away for inability to pay — and delivers a broad spectrum of services including family practice, internal medicine, women's health, orthopedics, endocrinology, physical therapy, and dental care, supported by an onsite dispensary that has been a Dispensary of Hope access site since 2015. Care is delivered at three physical access points: the LEED Silver-certified Sage Center of Care in Crystal Lake (opened November 2013), a part-time satellite in McHenry (opened October 2009), and a Mobile Health Outreach van (launched 2017) that brings primary care to homeless individuals at PADS and the Old Firehouse Assistance Center in Woodstock. Specialized programs include the McHenry County Mental Health Board–funded Patient Navigator and the Prevent Cancer Foundation–funded Celebremos La Vida cancer screening program for uninsured Latino women, delivered jointly with Northwestern Medicine.

The clinic's operating model is community-led: revenue is assembled from foundation grants, federal awards (notably a $2.6 million U.S. Department of Health and Human Services award in May 2026 to expand into Kansas' Third District), corporate and individual donations, planned giving, and sliding-scale patient fees, while clinical capacity is augmented by a volunteer provider network that more than doubled in 2025. The board includes senior representatives from Northwestern Medicine, Mercy Health, Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital, JP Morgan Chase, and other community institutions, reflecting a tightly embedded local ecosystem. As of recent reporting, FHPC handles more than 625 patient visits per month and maintains a patient database that has grown from 22,000 in 2006 to a substantially larger base today, and it remains the only clinic in McHenry County serving strictly uninsured adults.
