Started in 1996 by the Fitzjerrells (a husband and wife ministry team) Mission:USA is a…read moreChicago-based non-profit non-denominational Christian missionary organization that helps troubled, disadvantaged, and at-risk people make positive changes in their lives, fueled by a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. It mimics the ministry that those with incarceration experienced while locked up, so it creates that same security outside the walls. Services are every Tuesday at 7:30 PM, so just "show up" and you'll be welcomed by men and women who are experiencing common personal and societal problems. Housed in the Bethel Lutheran Church, the core of their work is communicating to inmates and gang members on the streets how much the Lord loves them and how He can help them change to live a life outside of crime. Their staff members walk step by step beside these individuals with a troubled past, providing a combination of counseling, education, housing information, job information, clothing, and most importantly, a relationship with God that gives them the strength to make dramatic changes in their lives. Everyone is welcomed and there is a complete absence of judgment. Only love, compassion, and caring exist in this amazing place and housing and employment are by-products of being in this community.

Mr Crovetti's office at Lovell Medical Center is efficient. His nurse Mr Odor is friendly…read moreprofessional and very nice to work with. Paperwork was taken into deposit quickly and safely. Documents made by the patient were reviewed and were discussed in great detail. The physician and patient had despite limited time in the clinic room had ample time to consult. Dr Crovetti is extremely thorough and seeks to ensure every patient has their needs met. He also works very well with pain injections for small localized areas. A flexible physician and a very nice man. If you're in the VA looking for PCM Crovetti is a good name to pick.

I walked in the office in pain (mostly due to the rough ride from so many potholes that grace Oak Park). While there, I got plenty of information from Dr. Crovetti on my options, and a pretty slick steroidal injection. He was very accurate with the needle and it hardly hurt at all - later was another story, but a couple ibuprofen took away my worries. Anyway, Crovetti is a cool, young doctor and kind of a superhero. He's a physician, father of two, Iraq war vet, yada yada, but most importantly, he's very detailed and focused on the patient in the office. I hope I wont need to see him again, but will be glad to call upon him if need be.

I highlighted them and gave them a call along with five others within my apartment sector, and out of the five that I called 'Above and Beyond' was the only one that called me back. Go figure! The next step was returning their call to set up an initial visit, which in that initial visit with Kaori, I got a great feel of what its like at 'Above and Beyond' during peak hours, plus I was introduced to several of their support programs (S.M.A.R.T Recovery, REBT - Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, Art Therapy, etc.), and met several of their volunteers and staff. I felt overwhelmed, but excited at the same time because 'Above and Beyond' was so welcoming compared to the others that didn't even consider returning my call. Since that initial visit, I have dropped in at 'Above and Beyond' on a few occasions and even ended up moving closer to the East Garfield Park area, which was another huge plus because I put them as a high priority as my internship site. I highly recommend 'Above and Beyond if you are a client, volunteer, intern, or anyone looking for work because its facility is filled with diverse welcoming counselors and volunteers that keep its programs flowing.

Review for Schwab Rehabilitation Inpatient Center - 1401 S California, Chicago…read more My mother was transferred to Schwab Rehabilitation Center from Christ Hospital today, and I'd like to share my initial experience. Before the transfer, a woman named Lauren had been in contact with me regarding the process. She was incredibly kind, professional, and reassuring. She made me feel that my mom would be in good hands, and I truly appreciated her communication. On the day of the transfer, the EMTs who transported my mom were also very professional and pleasant. When I arrived at Schwab, I was unsure where to park. I pressed the call button at the lot entrance and spoke to a woman with an unprofessional tone. I explained the situation, she asked for a name, and then simply lifted the gate without any further instruction. It wasn't a great first impression. Once inside the building, several staff in scrubs walked by me without acknowledging or offering help. I stood around unsure of where to go until I found a security guard who gave some guidance, though she directed me around the building to a different entrance. That's when I encountered the same woman from the parking lot again -- same unwelcoming tone and attitude. Eventually, I found my mom's room on the third floor. The nurses there were kind and began handling her intake. However, my experience quickly turned unpleasant when a male nurse entered the room. Without greeting us, he pointed at my son and harshly asked, "HOW OLD IS HE?" I was taken aback and asked him to repeat himself. When I told him my son was 10, he abruptly said, "He can't be here, he has to go sit in the lobby." I responded that he wouldn't be sitting alone. He replied rudely, "Nah, you gonna have to sit with him," to which I said that I wouldn't be doing that either and that I'd leave once I finished what I came to do. He then turned to the other nurses and asked, again in a harsh tone, "What do you need from her?" The nurse replied they were reviewing my mom's personal belongings. The male nurse said he was going to "check the age range," then walked out. I asked the other nurses who he was, and they told me his name is Baxter and he's the charge nurse. After I left, I called Lauren and reported his behavior. She was once again kind, understanding, and professional. I really hope my mom's care team is more like Lauren and less like the individuals I encountered today -- particularly Nurse Baxter.

I've stayed at other rehabilitation centers before. Schwab is the best rehabilitation hospital and…read morethe best experience of the three I've been to. Beginning with the staff, the nurses are extraordinary, compassionate, and empathetic. There was nothing too big or too small that they wouldn't do. Nurses Tony, Sheila, Erica, Shaniqua, and Emma went above and beyond. I felt like they treated me as one of their own children they were so loving. CNAs Lidia and Loni were amazing along with Anahi , Anne , and Monique. The doctors were amazing and very thorough, and I spoke with my doctor face to face every day. Dr. Michelle Gittler was always concerned with my feelings, progress, results, and overall health. She was compassionate and loving with her care. I felt like she was one of the best doctors I've ever experienced. When it comes to therapy, I could not have had a better team with Fiona and Leanna. They were loving, compassionate, the most amazing therapists I have ever worked with. When I arrived I could not use my limbs, and I left in 10 days putting on my clothes, taking a shower, using the restroom and walking with a walker on my own. I could not have made it this far without this team.
