Double your impact on Giving Tuesday

It’s been an exciting year at His Branches. We’ve had the opportunity to see more than 600 new patients join our practice since January. We’ve also been able to increasingly diversify our staff and patient population by providing care for Spanish speakers neighbors at both offices. Additionally, our community development efforts have led to a collaboration with neighbors and community agencies by which we’ve created safer and more universally accessible streets around our 19th Ward building. It truly has been a year of creating hope both on a large scale, and through simple yet supportive conversations with our patients each day.
