Becker's Healthcare December 17, 2024
Advocate Health Care will announce on Dec. 17 a landmark $1 billion investment to enhance healthcare access and services on Chicago’s South Side.
The plan includes a new hospital, expanded outpatient services and more than 10 new Neighborhood Care locations focused on preventive care and disease management. The investment aims to address long-standing healthcare disparities in the city, particularly the stark 30-year life expectancy gap between residents of the North Side and South Side.
