COMING IN 2026
A First-of-its-Kind Center that Holistically Addresses Social Well-Being
The Urban League of Philadelphia’s Well-Being Center will integrate free healthcare services with the Urban League’s trusted wrap-around direct services to help Philadelphians live longer and better.
​
​The Center will be a modern 10,000-square-foot facility located in the heart of West Philadelphia, near public transit. The Center will include a primary care center focused on serving uninsured neighbors, resources for workforce development and re-entry services, housing support, community classrooms, innovative learning labs, and a nutrition center to promote health and wellness. Additionally, the Center will offer internships for local youth to help develop future leaders.
THE NEED
Our neighbors are facing multiple barriers to essential resources.
Philadelphia is Pennsylvania’s least healthy county, ranking 67 out of 67 for health outcomes, which measure life expectancy & quality of life. These outcomes are driven by socioeconomic and healthcare access disparities – Philadelphia is near the bottom in the Commonwealth for these factors. Without an equitable and integrated focus on health and whole person well-being, these circumstances will only persist.
Eight percent (8%) of Philadelphians are uninsured. This represents over 110,000 adults.
Philadelphia is the poorest big city in the United States (22%).
THE ANSWER
Helping People Live Longer and Better
Building on the Urban League's established trust and reputation, the mission of the Social Well-Being Center is driven by three core objectives:
​
To Support Economic Empowerment & Provide “Whole Person” Care: Urban League of Philadelphia operates a variety of social service programs that uplift individuals. By combining our efforts into one center of excellence, our impact will be amplified.
​
To Improve Access to Quality Care: Regular access to quality primary care can significantly enhance health outcomes for uninsured individuals by providing timely interventions and preventive care.​
To Strengthen Healthcare Partnerships: Working together, we can support uninsured patients by providing free and charitable primary care – improving community well-being and reducing the burden on emergency departments.

Integrating Healthcare & Quality of Life
