About Erie Family Health Center

Motivated by the belief that healthcare is a human right, we provide high quality, affordable care to support healthier people, families and communities.

The story of Erie Family Health Centers began in 1957 with a compassionate physician and an elderly patient in need of health care. The physician was Dr. Robert Snyder, an internist at Northwestern University Medical School, and his patient was Carmela Jacob. Today, Erie is a regional health care resource serving more than 82,000 patients a year at 13 health centers spanning the west side of Chicago to Waukegan. These sites include four large primary care centers that offer integrated medical and dental health services, three additional large primary care centers, the region’s oldest and largest comprehensive teen and young adult health center, and five school-based health centers.

Although 60 years have passed since Dr. Snyder first began providing medical care for West Town’s elderly, our mission remains the same: to deliver high quality health care services to the Chicago region’s medically underserved residents with compassion, cultural understanding and respect—regardless of their ability to pay.
