This work plan builds these strategies and adds new ones, including some aimed

at improving access to health care services. The plan also expands on ongoing ef-forts in other strategies such as: evnlivening public spaces (Strategy # 2), makingEnglewood safe for walking (Strategy # 6) and locating goods and servies withinwalking distance (Strategy # 3). Our plan is designed to make better use of exist-ing resources and to create new opportunities so that Englewood becomes a greatplace to walk, work out, enjoy good nutrition and receive convenient, high-qualitymedical care.

A number of efforts to improve the health of Englewood residents are already

underway. These include:Closing the Gap, an initiative of the Illinois Department of Human Ser-vices, which seeks to reduce the racial disparities in infant mortality intargeted Chicago communities

Greater Englewood Healthy Start, a federally funded program, whichimproves prenatal care for at-risk pregnant women

A Pediatric Mobile Health Unit from St. Bernard Hospital which provides

immunizations, exams, health education and referrals to Englewoodchildren

An inter-generational walking club organized by Teamwork Englewood

Food 4 Less, a new grocery store located at 69th and Ashland streets

A new urban farm launched at 58th and Wood Street by Growing Home,a Chicago-based non-profit

A farmers market opened on June 19th at 69th St. and Ashland Ave.

The list of initiatives aimed at improving the health of Englewood residents willcontinue to grow as our workgroup participants and community residents movefrom what Doris Jones, the NCP coordinator for Englewood, calls the “talkingstage” to the “acting stage”.

Through the coming years, Teamwork Englewood will continue its role as conve-ner and facilitator, bringing together existing and new organizations to implement

this work plan. Together we will find resources, catalyze change and attract newenergy to the community.

The timeline to secure a financing commitment varies. A project initiation loan can be

processed within 4 to 6 weeks if all required information is provided. Most loans, however, take

longer to complete the loan application, submit it to our national committee for approval, and

process it through the legal department. For loans under $1 million, the national loan committee

reviews and approves loans every two weeks. Loans over $1 million require additional

approval at the national board level, which meets every six weeks. Ask your program officer to

discuss your timeline to ensure we can meet your needs.
