Four South Chicago hospitals – Advocate Trinity Hospital, Mercy Hospital & Medical Center (a member of Trinity Health), South Shore Hospital and St. Bernard Hospital – announced that they have signed a nonbinding agreement to offer bold solutions that create a new health care delivery system. The system will expand access to preventive care and quality services, reduce drastic health inequities and provide economic development, jobs and training programs in the region. The providers are calling on neighborhood leaders and area residents to participate in a series of community input sessions to help shape robust solutions tailored specifically to the local community’s needs. Despite state effort and local community investment, health inequities persist in this region. The four providers said addressing these inequities was a key driver for the need to develop a progressive, patient-centered approach and transformative model. After analyzing community health needs assessments and service area and demographic data, the four providers arrived at two primary needs—expand access to quality primary and preventive care services by constructing vibrant community health centers, and build at least one new, state-of-the-art, destination hospital. The estimated capital investment to achieve these goals is $1.1 billion.
