Loyola Community Nursing Center
Serving the diverse communities surrounding Loyola University Chicago's Lake Shore Campus
Founded in 1981 in a church basement by three faculty members, the Loyola Community Nursing Center (LCNC) began as an outreach program for the mothers, children, and elderly in the community. Since then, it has evolved into a valuable health care resource for families and seniors living in the culturally and economically diverse neighborhoods of Rogers Park, Edgewater, and Uptown.
The Loyola Community Nursing Center relies on nursing students, dietetic interns, and health systems management students from Loyola's Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing and Parkinson School of Health Sciences and Public Health. Supervised by nursing faculty, students have the opportunity to gain clinical experience, while providing the community with much-needed health services.
