Stickney Public Health District

The district operates two primary care clinics — a South Clinic and a North Clinic — as well as dedicated Dental & Podiatry services. The organization provides a range of public health services including school and sports physicals, immunizations, WIC programming, behavioral health services, environmental health services, and an Office on Aging. The district is closely affiliated with the Township of Stickney, which oversees broader community services such as transportation and highway services. Nursing roles at Stickney Public Health District involve providing direct public health nursing services to individuals, families, and population groups in clinic, community, and home settings, as well as participating in outreach activities, education events, and public health service delivery. The organization serves a linguistically diverse community, advertising services in English, Arabic, Spanish, and Polish, which suggests nurses may work with multilingual and multicultural populations.

The organization's mission centers on providing accessible community-based public health services to the residents of Stickney Township. This is evidenced by their multilingual outreach, provision of essential preventative services (vaccines, physicals), and integration with township-level social services including WIC, behavioral health, aging services, and environmental health. The district emphasizes community accessibility, preventative care, and service to diverse populations.
