Grant Writer

Saint Anthony Hospital

Join us in the development of Focal Point Chicago, a project that will serve as a model to change the face of community development across the country. The campus will be financially self-sustaining—with income from its for-profit elements supplementing the financial needs of the not-for-profit elements—and will serve as a national model for community development across the country.

With the development of Focal Point Chicago, Saint Anthony Hospital will move into its new home site to continue and expand upon the work of improving the health and wellness of families across Chicagoland by providing medical care, social services, and community outreach to the residents of Little Village, North Lawndale, Pilsen, Brighton Park, Back of the Yards, McKinley Park, Archer Heights, and Chicago Lawn as well as suburban Cicero and Berwyn.
