The health center specializes in treating LGBTQ+ patients throughout the city
Dozens of Howard Brown Health workers and supporters strike on Jan. 3, 2023, outside the Howard Brown Health clinic at 4025 N. Sheridan Road in Chicago.
The 440 workers who walked off the job Tuesday plan to strike through Thursday. The workers are represented by the Illinois Nurses Association, though the group of workers that went on strike does not include nurses who are part of a separate union group.Howard Brown is a federally qualified health center, meaning it receives federal dollars to help patients with low incomes. It has 11 clinics on the North, South and West sides of the city.
Howard Brown said it also planned to reduce spending and cut leaders’ pay. The $12 million shortfall is due to changes to a federal program that requires many drugmakers to offer some medications at discounted prices to health care organizations that care for low-income and uninsured people. An end to federal COVID-19 relief funding has also led to the revenue gap, Howard Brown said.
