Urban Health Initiative Summit

Chicago, IL US
October 24, 2024
Join us in improving the health of South Side Chicago communities!
 
This summit provides a unique opportunity to collaborate on pressing health challenges identified in UChicago Medicine’s 2021-2022 Community Health Needs Assessment. Our focus will be on key priorities such as chronic disease prevention and management, building trauma resilience, and addressing inequities stemming from social determinants of health. This year’s summit will offer valuable insights through expert-led breakout sessions on these critical areas, an important update from the Urban Health Initiative (UHI), and a keynote presentation highlighting UHI's long-term impact and sustainability in the community.
