Woman-led, Black-owned integrated health organization combines mental health therapy, fitness, nutrition, and bodywork to transform lives across Chicago communities.
Nationwide — Iris Nichole Patterson, the Founder of Chicago Integrated Health, is continuing to reshape the future of holistic healthcare through its innovative four-fold approach to wellness that integrates mental health therapy, clinical massage therapy, nutrition coaching, and personal training under one comprehensive care model.
Chicago Integrated Health has emerged as one of Illinois’ pioneering integrated wellness organizations operated by a non-physician leader while accepting both Medicaid and private insurance. The organization is dedicated to making quality, whole-person healthcare accessible to underserved communities throughout the Chicago area.
“True healing happens when we care for the mind, body, and spirit together,” said Patterson. “Chicago Integrated Health was built to create a safe space where individuals and families feel seen, supported, and empowered to reclaim their health and live fully.”
Chicago Integrated Health’s mission is to provide holistic solutions through comprehensive wellness services tailored to each individual’s unique needs while helping clients overcome challenges and build healthier futures. The organization’s long-term vision is to create a global movement where health and wellness become a top priority in helping people live happy, healthy, and whole lives.
Under Patterson’s leadership, the organization has become known for its innovative healthcare model and compassionate approach to care. While building and scaling the company, Patterson simultaneously fought and overcame stage 4 colon cancer — an experience that deepened her commitment to wellness, resilience, and purpose-driven leadership.
Chicago Integrated Health offers a broad range of services, including:
• Mental health therapy
• Clinical massage therapy
• Trauma-informed yoga
• Nutrition coaching
• Personal training
The organization currently serves more than 200 members and proudly operates as a woman-led, Black-owned, LGBTQI+ inclusive healthcare organization.
Chicago Integrated Health has also expanded its impact through Project Thrive, a youth-centered wellness initiative serving children, teens, and young adults ages 5–21 through integrated mental health, behavioral health, academic support, and physical wellness programming.
The organization and its leadership have been featured on major media platforms, including ABC7, CBS2 Chicago, WGN, Daytime Chicago, and FOX32, for their innovative work in health, entrepreneurship, and community impact.
