What chicago hispanic health coalition does

The Chicago Hispanic Health Coalition is a non-profit organization founded in 1991, headquartered at the University of Illinois at Chicago's Institute for Minority Health Research. Its core function is delivering free health education, outreach, and disease-prevention programs to Hispanic communities across the Chicago metropolitan area. The coalition operates a portfolio of named programs addressing diabetes education (DEEP and Tomando Control), women's health (Hermanas), vaccination uptake (Vacunas), cardiovascular and general chronic-disease prevention (Por Su Salud, Vive tu vida!), COVID-19 response (PROCEED), and other community health topics, supplemented by a Door-to-Door outreach model that reaches participants directly in their homes and community venues. Programming is delivered in Spanish and tailored to cultural context.

The coalition's underlying "platform" is its network of 600+ member organizations — a federation of community, faith, academic, and service groups that channels participants into programs, disseminates materials, and provides referral pathways. The organization has no proprietary software or technology stack disclosed; service delivery is built on in-person facilitation, printed curricula, and community partnerships. The Door-to-Door program and coalition convening power function as distribution infrastructure rather than digital channels.

The business model is non-commercial: all programs are free to participants, and the organization does not sell products or services. Revenue is derived from government grants, foundation and corporate sponsorships, and event sponsorships. There is no pricing model, no customer base in the commercial sense, and no revenue figures disclosed. The organization serves the broader Hispanic population of Chicago as its beneficiary base; its direct "customers" are funders (grantmakers and sponsors) and member organizations.
