Onyx Medical Wellness is proud to announce the grand opening & ribbon cutting ceremony of its newest health and wellness clinic on Thursday, June 19, 2025, in Chicago’s historic South Shore neighborhood. Located at 2247 E. 73rd Street, the clinic will serve as a vital community health hub, offering culturally competent care to Black, LGBTQ+, and other underserved populations on Chicago’s South and West Sides.
The opening coincides with Pride Month and precedes Juneteenth, marking a powerful moment of intersection between health equity, identity, and liberation. The ribbon-cutting ceremony will feature Dr. Maya Green, Founder and Chief Medical & Health Equity Officer of Onyx Medical Wellness, alongside elected officials, civic leaders, clinicians and members of the community.
A respected leader in public health, Dr. Green is also serving as a Grand Marshal in the 2025 Chicago Pride Parade, further spotlighting her trailblazing work in advancing equitable healthcare access.
“This clinic is more than just a medical facility—it’s a sanctuary for healing, affirmation, and empowerment,” said Dr. Green. “We’re creating a space where every person, no matter their background or identity, can feel seen, supported, and cared for.”
Onyx Medical Wellness is a cornerstone of the Onyx Health Collective, which also includes its nonprofit sister agency, ONYX360 NFP. Together, the Collective bridges clinical care, health education and community-based advocacy to address the root causes of health disparities and expand access to culturally responsive care.
In 2024 alone, Onyx Health Collective reached over 2,100 individuals through 15 community health events, offering free immunizations, STI testing, dental services, and chronic disease education. Through ONYX360 NFP, the organization further addresses social determinants of health (SDOH) through year-round education, advocacy, and outreach.
