How We Work >
Our Priorities
Our priorities focus on some of the most urgent health challenges
facing our city, addressing the root causes of health inequities.
We remain committed, as always, to honoring our Jewish legacy.
prevent domestic violence
We prevent and address the impact of domestic violence by supporting both survivors and those who cause harm to break the cycle of violence.
strengthen the health Workforce
We connect initiatives to develop pathways for a skilled and inclusive health workforce to provide stable and living-wage jobs while creating better quality and accessible care.
Honor Our Jewish Legacy
We build the capacity of our city’s strong network of Jewish-led health providers, advocates and services so their resources are more easily within reach to all Chicagoans who need them.
End Homelessness
We work to end homelessness in Chicago by advocating for stronger, more coordinated systems that provide stable housing.
