About the Feinberg Office of Health Equity
Our mission motivates us to advance health for all. Decades of health disparities, notably in Chicago, made clear the rationale for change. Our world, our society, our local communities are more interconnected now than ever before. The absence of health in any one of us affects the health of all of us. No academic medical center is better equipped to not only address, but to lead health equity science and equitable care."
