Sinai Urban Health Institute (SUHI), part of Sinai Chicago, released its 25-Year Impact Report: Advancing Health for All https://suhi.sinaichicago.org/. This milestone publication showcases a quarter century of community-engaged research, training, and innovation to advance health equity in Chicago and across the nation. As SUHI celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2025, the report captures its transformation from a small research team founded in 2000 by the late Dr. Steve Whitman into a nationally recognized public health institute leading change through data-driven insights and community-led solutions. Over the past quarter century, SUHI has worked alongside neighborhoods, hospitals, policymakers, and community organizations to address the root causes of inequities in health outcomes.
