Healthier Together
Community Benefit 2024 Report Highlights
For more than 20 years, the University of Chicago Medicine’s Urban Health Initiative has worked with Chicago’s South Side community to understand and help with its most important health, social and economic issues. In 2016, this work expanded to the Southland community served by UChicago Medicine Ingalls Memorial in south suburban Harvey. With the opening of our multispecialty care facility in Crown Point, Indiana, in 2024, our community benefit service area now includes the greater Northwest Indiana region. We engage with the community through our Community Advisory Councils, Patient and Family Advisory Councils, and work in research, education, community affairs and outreach. Our organization’s Mission, Vision and Values helped us develop Elevate 2035, the strategic plan that will guide UChicago Medicine through the next decade. Community is one of the pillars of this enterprise-wide plan, along with People, Healthcare, Research and Education. This plan reflects our commitment to our values in every aspect of our work and decision-making.
In fiscal 2024, UChicago Medicine provided a total of $715 million in community benefit investment. This brochure includes details about this investment, along with highlights of our community health programs and partnerships.
