After a healthcare resource in Chicago’s Gage Park closed just before the pandemic, UI Health sprang into action. 👩🔬➡️🦸 Since opening, the UI Health 55th & Pulaski Health Collaborative has served over 30,000 patients by helping them manage chronic conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes, and through education, cooking classes, support groups, and other resources. It’s a prime state tour stop for spotlighting healthcare and community partnerships for greater health and well-being. The UI Health at 55th and Pulaski Health Collaborative is a joint effort of the University of Illinois College of Medicine, UIC College of Applied Health Sciences, and the UI Health Mile Square Health Center, bringing together UIC’s health sciences colleges and local providers for health screenings and specialty services, as well as behavioral and mental health care.
