Pilsen South Ashland Health Hub Expands to Include Mental Health Services

The Pilsen South Ashland Health Hub (1713 S. Ashland Ave., 312-743-7500) officially opened to Pilsen residents on Monday, October 28, 2024 and offers no-cost mental health services for adults and youth, alongside an expanded range of health care services such as immunizations and referrals to community health partners for Special Supplemental Nutrition for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) services and sexually transmitted infections (STI) services. Dr. Alexander Sloboda and Jeanny Masso, a therapist from the Pilsen South Ashland Health Hub, discuss what the expansion of facilities means for those in the community, why it is important for residents to have access to mental health services, and what is involved in individual and group treatments.
