In November, Michael Reese completes its first grant cycle. Funding is focused on providing care for the underserved and uninsured, children and youth, people with disabilities, the elderly, and immigrants. Given the foundation’s origins, a portion of funding is also focused on advancing the health and well-being of Jewish populations.

Among the November grants is one to Cook County Hospital’s Crisis Intervention Project for survivors of domestic and interpersonal violence, the first of a series of commitments that continue to the present day.
