The mission of El Rincon community clinic is to provide
comprehensive substance abuse services for our clients, which will
enhance the health and well-being of our families and significant
others. El Rincon provides services to all, but specializes in culturally
specific services for Latinos within the Chicagoland area.
We recognize that our primary purpose is to provide
quality and comprehensive treatment services and resources for our
community, thereby, reducing the consumption of drugs and alcohol
preventing future drug dependency and drug related problems, and
maximizing the full potential of our community.
Core
Value Statements:
1. Building Healthy Communities El Rincon Community
Clinic believes in the importance of building a healthy community.
It is important for the community to have the ability to sustain
itself, the families, the children, the schools and the businesses
contained within it. Without this sustainability, the community
would deteriorate and those within it would live a devastating existence
versus a healthy, productive, empowering lifestyle.
2. Reducing the Stigma of Addiction El Rincon Community
Clinic believes that the stigma associated with addiction should
be reduced. Addiction affects most families from all economic structures,
all races and ethnic groups. Instead of bringing attention to the
needs of our clients instead of the negatives or stereotypes, we
can redirect funding considerations and enhance support from many
sources.
3. Providing Education to our Community El
Rincon Community Clinic believes in the importance of being a resource
to our Community.
4. Being advocates for our Clients and Community El
Rincon Community Clinic believes in being advocates for our clients,
families, schools, and churches. As advocates, El Rincon believes
in being a part of the bigger community issues, which are affected
or have an effect on the development of problems within the community.
