As UIC’s academic health enterprise, UI Health has been at the forefront of the COVID-19 response and relief efforts through its establishment of community testing sites, launching clinical trials, modification of clinical programming, and providing expert guidance to policy and advocacy experts for the state. Similar to the experience of others across the Chicagoland area, the work done by our own care teams and staff at UI Health has been driven by our sound practice of public health preparedness and prevention efforts while building toward something very anti-climactic – avoiding a dramatic crisis that our regional health care network didn’t have the capacity to handle.
