Within the last three years congenital syphilis cases (mother-to-child transmission of syphilis) have increased by 300 percent in Chicago. Additionally, since 2022, new HIV diagnoses have increased by 16 percent, and Primary and Secondary Syphilis among women increased by 12 percent. To bring greater awareness of these troubling trends, CDPH and its partners are getting together to do something to help improve the health of mothers and babies in Chicago. Healthy Chicago: Healthy Women, Healthy Futures is a health resource fair for pregnant women and mothers and will include sexual health screenings, safe sleep demonstrations, information on SNAP and WIC assistance, as well as food, door prizes, and giveaways. The event will be held on Friday, April 3 at the Bronzeville East 43rd Street Health Hub (4314 S. Cottage Grove Ave.) from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. For more information, visit www.chicago.gov.
