Chicago community health organizations Sinai Chicago, Chicago Family Health Center, and Lawndale Christian Health Center are among more than 100 community-based organizations (CBOs) in 11 cities chosen to participate in the Collaboration for Equitable Health, a joint initiative of the American Heart Association®, the American Cancer Society®, and the American Diabetes Association®, powered by Bank of America. The four-year, $25-million collaboration aims to improve health outcomes for Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian American and Native American communities, initially launching in 11 cities: Albuquerque; Atlanta; Charlotte; Chicago; Denver; Detroit; Memphis; Philadelphia; San Antonio; St. Louis; and Washington, D.C. The Collaboration for Equitable Health will focus specifically on the leading causes of death in communities of color: heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes. The lead organizations will collaborate to address these leading causes of death, as well as other related health topics, including maternal health, mental wellness, and nutrition. As part of this effort, the work will take place at the three CBOs serving Chicago’s South and West Side neighborhoods and focus on various areas: education and capacity building for health systems, partners and patients; increasing access to health screenings and preventive care; and advocating for policies that ensure fair opportunities and resources with state and local leaders.
