Blue Cross Breaks Ground on Pullman Facility
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois broke ground Tuesday on a community healthcare facility in the South Side’s Pullman section. To be known as Blue Door Neighborhood Center, it will be BCBSIL’s first-ever neighborhood-based site.
“By working in partnership with residents in the Pullman and Roseland community, our collective efforts can directly impact its overall health,” said BCBSIL president Maurice Smith.
The BCBSIL center will occupy 3,700 square feet in the 111th Street Gateway Retail Center, which already houses a Potbelly Sandwich shop and Star Cleaners. The center was developed and built by Chicago Neighborhood Initiatives.
“Because of the positive economic and social impact that recently-completed projects like the Pullman Community Center, the Whole Foods Midwest Distribution Center, Pullman Park and others have had in the community, I’m confident the new Blue Cross Neighborhood Center will continue this positive trajectory well into the future,” said Ald. Anthony Beale.
