High blood pressure often doesn't cause noticeable symptoms—but over time it can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease. Knowing your numbers is one simple step toward protecting your health.

Talk with your primary care provider about blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes screening and other preventive care.

Health literacy means having the information and support you need to make informed decisions about your health.

It's okay to ask:
• What does this diagnosis mean?
• What are my treatment options?
• What should I expect?
• What questions should I ask?
• Where can I get more information?

At Howard Brown Health, our goal is to help patients understand their care—not simply receive it. Your questions are always worth asking.

A street sign for a Chicago legend. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Today, we celebrate Chilli Pepper Way and the incredible legacy of Chilli Pepper, whose deep commitment to Howard Brown Health helped strengthen and sustain our mission of affirming healthcare for all. Her final recorded performance was EPIC at our Who’s That Girl gala in 2024. A conference room is named in her honor at our Halsted care center.

For decades, Chilli was a tireless champion for the LGBTQ+ community - and Howard Brown - bringing her performance, her heart, her humor to the work of ensuring everyone can access care where they feel seen, respected and affirmed.

This street sign is more than a name on a corner. It’s a tribute to a Chicago icon and a reminder of the difference one person can make when they show up, speak out and give back.

🧦 3,000 pairs of socks = 3,000 reasons to say thank you!

We’re grateful to Bombas for donating 3,000 pairs of socks to Broadway Youth Center, helping us provide young people with essential everyday items alongside affirming health care and supportive services. Community care makes a difference.

We’re grateful to Bombas for showing what community partnership looks like—and for helping us put care into action, one pair of socks at a time.

Preventive care is important. Take care of the whole you.

Maybe you've been putting off your annual physical. Maybe it’s time for your annual flu and covid vaccines. Maybe it's time for an HIV test. Maybe you've been meaning to see the dentist. Maybe your behavioral health deserves some attention, too.

You don't have to do everything at once. Just take the next step. Howard Brown Health provides integrated, patient-centered care that affirms who you are and supports your health at every stage of life.
