How we're making a difference in community health
Your support can help promote equity and reduce healthcare disparities on Chicago’s South Side.
As the only academic medical center on the South Side, UChicago Medicine is committed to improving community members’ health and wellness.
Chicago’s South Side is a collection of vibrant, diverse, and culturally rich communities. Yet, generations of disinvestment have contributed to high rates of chronic conditions, such as asthma, diabetes, and heart disease, as well as violence.
