Project Overview:
The new Esperanza Brighton Park Health Center is a memorable two-story-tall, 43,450-square-feet facility that houses expanded medical health services, comprehensive senior programming, and a family medicine residency program. The new building expands Esperanza’s presence in the Brighton Park community on Chicago’s South Side to encompass an entire city block, forming a new civic plaza in concert with an earlier facility at the north end of the site. Planned as a “health campus,” multiple indoor and outdoor spaces create opportunities to promote health, learning, and recreation for the community that builds on the services provided within the complex
