How can we work together to become the first major metropolitan city to have a fully functioning system in place ensuring that every Chicago resident has access to the right health care, at the right time, in the right place?
CommunityHealth invites all Chicagoans to participate in our All In™ campaign – a series of education, thought leadership, and networking events focused on generating solutions to help all Chicago residents access health care. All In events are open to anyone interested including industry professionals, students, corporate partners, community leaders, and you!
The series will kick off on Thursday May 4th at the Metropolitan Club from 7:00 am – 10:00 am CT for the 9th Annual Breakfast Summit, The New Normal. In addition to a keynote speaker, the event will include an in-depth conversation with key leaders discussing the ways we continue to advance health equity as we live in our new normal.
