The Frances Nelson Health Center honors the legacy of Frances Nelson, who provided care and housing for homeless African American children in the 1940s. It was originally established as a free and equal access health clinic in 1969, operating out of Frances Nelson's former home, before the clinic moved to its current location (819 Bloomington Road, Champaign) in 2006. The Frances Nelson Dental Center opened in 2011. In 2012, ownership of both clinics changed to Promise Healthcare.
