We're passionate about health equity: for the communities we serve, for our patients and for our employees. We know that the South and West Sides of Chicago have historically been underserved.

As the largest employer on Chicago's West Side, we take it seriously that our institution can change this. As part of our Anchor Mission strategy, we hire, invest, buy and source, and volunteer locally. We've invested more than $6 million on the West Side since 2018, and that number continues to grow every year.
