Healthy communities can be achieved through authentic involvement of our neighbors and local residents. Whether it be in the pursuit of representation in healthcare practice and research, making healthcare more accessible, or informing public health policy, UIC’s academic health enterprise honors its long-standing community-centered commitment of inclusive partnership with the communities we serve – all in the pursuit of health equity.
