Come to the 4th Annual Comedy for the Clubhouse!

The Clubhouse on ABC news

Heart of a Marine Foundation support the Clubhouse

A big thank you to Georgette & Roy Frank, founders of the Heart of a Marine Foundation.  The Foundation donated 5 laptops with aphasia software to the Clubhouse in honor of their son, Phil, who was killed in action in Iraq.  These laptops are used by our veterans to aid in their recovery from traumatic brain injury.

We have several individuals in need of services due to funding cuts - these include stroke survivors and veterans with TBI.  We need your support!  If you would like to personally support one of these individuals, please contact the Clubhouse for more information at 312-932-1120

Hello my name is Ryan I am a 27 year old veteran from Chicago. That was brought to this great clubhouse from my speech pathologist Laura at the Hines VA Medical facility.

Before I started working here at the clubhouse my self worth was very low and now that the clubhouse has provided this wonderful job for me. I believe more in myself now than ever.

I only work three days a week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, but those are three days of the week I look forward too. While at the clubhouse I help with many day to day tasks such as help find contacts for funding, answering phones, and writing articles for the news letter. Doing all of these tasks put my mind at ease and make it easier for me to cope with the outside world.

When I got wounded in Iraq with my traumatic brain injury I never thought. I would be able to give back to the community because of it. I thought I would be damaged for good but, the clubhouse showed me I can heal from my injury with this great veteran internship program.

The Clubhouse is a unique place where individuals can come to relearn skills through the work of the day.  We are proud to have celebrated our 10 year anniversary in April.  We hope that you will visit us to see the many programs that we offer.  We like to think of the Clubhouse as our home away from home and the folks here are like family.  For many the Clubhouse is the next step in transitioning from a patient back into the real world.
