A coalition of South Side health care providers, including University of Chicago Medicine and Friend Health, have established the South Side Healthy Community Organization through the state’s Healthcare Transformation Collaboratives program, aiming to expand primary, specialty and preventative care. – Hyde Park Herald
Eight healthcare collaboratives across Illinois have been allocated funds from the state with the goal of reorienting healthcare in Illinois to reduce healthcare inequities, improve health outcomes, address social determinants of health, and remedy persistent difficulty for underserved communities to access quality healthcare. – KHQA-TV
One group on the South Side said it will work to improve access to health care, including by adding 90 primary care and obstetrics providers.
