Mayor Brandon Johnson opened the Roseland Health Hub on Wednesday, a major step in his effort to expand Chicago’s bricks-and-mortar mental health system. Johnson cut the ribbon at the the long-shuttered clinic surrounded by many of the same activists who led the decade-long charge to reopen a dozen city-run mental health centers closed by past mayors.

"We hope that this will be more than a clinic," Mayor Brandon Johnson said Wednesday at the Roseland East 115th Street Health Hub, but "a gathering space that will foster health and wellness."

There was a ribbon cutting Wednesday morning to celebrate the reopening of the former Roseland Mental Health Clinic.
