Welcome

In 2006, Advocate Health Care established the Advocate Bethany Community Health Fund (Bethany Fund). The Bethany Fund was created as part of Advocate's ongoing commitment to support existing community organizations as they build, promote and sustain healthy communities on the West Side of Chicago. Through the work of the Bethany Fund Board, Advocate will provide approximately $1 million per year for 14 years, from 2007 through 2020, to promote health and wellness in four targeted communities served by Bethany Hospital. These four targeted communities or "Bethany Fund Communities" are: Austin,  Garfield Park, Humboldt Park and North Lawndale.
