About A-Nu Health
A small Chicago practice built around the whole person.
A-Nu Health provides primary care, mental health care, weight management, men's health, and in-home medical services for adults and seniors — with one care team following the whole picture instead of a single organ system.
Serving Chicago and surrounding communities. In-home visits by appointment. Telehealth available when clinically appropriate.
Our mission
Care that fits the life you actually have.
Many patients arrive having told their story several times to several people, with a medication list nobody has reviewed as a whole and follow-up that never quite happened. Our practice is organized to fix that: fewer handoffs, one team that knows your history, and a plan you can carry out at home.
That means treating high blood pressure and the anxiety keeping you awake in the same relationship, and being willing to come to you when getting to an office is the thing standing between you and care.
What you can expect from us
- Explain options, including the option to wait
- Say plainly when something is outside our scope
- Coordinate with your other providers, with your permission
- Respect your time, your privacy, and your decisions

Care settings
Three ways to be seen.
In the clinic
Full visits at 8556 S Ashland Ave, with time for the conversation the visit actually needs.
By telehealth
Follow-ups, medication check-ins, results review, and many mental health visits by video when clinically appropriate.
At home
In-home visits by appointment for patients whose mobility, health, or transportation make travel difficult.
What guides our care
Three things we keep coming back to.
Whole-person
Medical and mental health belong in the same conversation. We treat the person, not a list of separate problems.
Unhurried
Visits leave room for questions. Plans are explained in plain language before anything is started.
Follow-through
Care continues between visits — labs reviewed, medications adjusted, and coordination with everyone else involved.
