An $8 million donation from a North Chicago drugmaker is intended to reduce health care disparities in Black communities on the South Side.
AbbVie’s donation, announced Wednesday, will boost efforts by University of Chicago Medicine’s Urban Health Initiative to build relationships with community leaders and organizations, with the goal of improving the quality of care for South Side residents.
Most of the money will go toward hiring 14 community health workers who will stay connected with patients once they leave the hospital or primary care office. Those workers will be part of the new Liaison in Care program, who help keep patients educated about their care.
