The Old Irving Park Community Clinic (OIPCC) is a free, primary care facility on the lower northwest side of Chicago which operates with an almost all-volunteer staff.
Founded in 2007 by lifelong best friend retirees (one an M.D., the other a mental health counselor), its core credo is the belief that all people, regardless of socio-economic status, have the right to quality health care.
Torture survivors have complex needs yet are often excluded from conventional healthcare, employment and housing options because of the unique nature of their trauma coupled with sometimes complicated legal statuses.
The Marjorie Kovler Center provides medical, mental health, and social services to survivors of politically-sanctioned torture and their families, helping them heal and rebuild their lives.
