When Chicago Healthcare Alliance Lions Club (CHALC) was chartered in July, our vision was clear: leading the healthcare and advocating for the underserved and underprivileged in Chicago. The global health emergency taught us enduring lessons and highlighted the unwavering support of the medical community, including our Lions.
Despite pandemic setbacks and losses, our commitment to quality healthcare persists. Tonight, with the support of Lions International, we move a step close to our goal. As President of CHALC, I’m honored to accept this charter on behalf of our Lions, pledging hard work and dedication in service.
United by our desire to help, we face challenges together, making positive impact on the lives of the less fortunate. As Lions, our supreme purpose is to serve others.
From this night onward, we give new meaning to the words: We serve! CHALC, as a whole, serves from the heart, valuing each member for their genuine intention to care and serve.
Together, we are changing the world.
Keep roaring, Dear Lions!

Empowering service through knowledge and compassion, our Chicago Healthcare Alliance Lions Club members continue to lead by example by completing First Aid, CPR, and BLS certification trainings. These efforts go beyond personal development; they are a commitment to community impact. By equipping themselves with life-saving skills, our members are prepared not only to respond in critical moments but also to educate and empower others to do the same. We are building a safer and more prepared community in case of emergency.
