Primary Care Services

Two-Generation Clinic

The UI Health Two-Generation Clinic is a one-stop destination where women and children of all ages can receive comprehensive primary care and behavioral health support from a team of providers that includes physicians specializing in internal medicine and pediatrics. This unique model of care allows families to visit one clinic for all of the primary care services they need, saving time, limiting exposure within healthcare settings, and allowing women and children to develop long-term relationships with primary care providers.

Established in 2020 and located in the UI Health Outpatient Care Center and in the South Loop/Bronzeville neighborhood, the Two-Generation Clinic offers a variety of adult and pediatric primary care services.

Who Can Receive Care at the Two-Generation Clinic

The Two-Generation Clinic is ideally suited for new mothers and their infants. Both women and children are encouraged to receive care at the clinic, but this isn’t required. Mothers well-established with a primary care physician elsewhere can have their child seen at the Two-Generation Clinic and can still connect with us for postpartum support services as needed. The clinic also warmly welcomes fathers and other non-birthing parents to come to the clinic for care and support after delivery.
