Access to quality, affordable healthcare is vital for leading a fulfilling, healthier life. Yet, social and systemic factors have a significant impact on our overall health. As a community-led and engaged foundation operating in a specific region of Chicago and the western Cook County suburbs, our mission is to center community context in our grantmaking, meet immediate and emergent health and wellness needs, especially for the underserved and underinsured, and catalyze long-term systems change to address the root causes of health inequities.
