This West Garfield Park project has the key factors that the jurors loved as they awarded it the $10M Chicago Prize from the Pritzker Traubert Foundation. In early January 2023, the Garfield Park Rite to Wellness Collaborative was awarded the prize for this remarkable project - a walkable village- Sankofa Wellness Village. The name Sankofa is a term from West Africa meaning to go back for what has been lost. The development will bring back essential services to the community. 

The development includes a wellness center, clinic, grocery stores, art center and more.

Join us on April 25th at 4:30 PM CT to learn more about the project.  When completed, the project will alleviate missing behavioral health services, and maternal health and child services in the area.
