Healing Communities

Healing Communities Promo

Illinois hospitals are the heartbeat of their communities, promoting individual and community health beyond the lifesaving care within their facilities. They address community health needs—from social drivers of health to behavioral health—and make healthcare accessible to all. As major economic drivers, Illinois hospitals support thriving communities. They’re also training the next generation of caregivers to ensure healthcare is here when you need it, now and into the future.
