Heart Health
Take care of the heart that takes care of you.
Your blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, nutrition, physical activity, and stress all affect your heart. On the South Side, heart disease affects too many families, and it’s rarely caused by just one thing.
Thrive South Side looks at the whole picture. We connect you with primary care doctors and specialists who listen, while we help with the everyday needs — healthy food, transportation to appointments, and ongoing support — that make it easier to care for your heart for years to come. We stay with you and keep checking in, so you never have to navigate the process alone.
Patrice’s Story
When Patrice came to us, she was facing a new diagnosis of vision impairment, dealing with unmanaged hypertension, and juggling the added stress of moving to Illinois from out of state. Today, she monitors her own blood pressure, receives healthy meals, and gets to her appointments with transportation provided by Thrive South Side.
