The wellness center is an effort by Loretto to address disparities in healthcare on the West Side.
“We believe that access and investment are the antidote to communities in crisis,” Loretto Hospital President and CEO Tesa Anewishki said in a statement. “When women are well, it directly impacts the entire household, and communities thrive.”
