For nearly 100 years, UChicago Medicine has delivered compassionate care to patients. Today, the integrated academic and community health system employs over 13,000 Illinoisans between its South Side and Harvey hospitals. Its physicians and nurses handle over 220,000 emergency room visits and 30,000 surgeries a year. They also care for many low-income and uninsured patients.
As the state’s largest provider of Medicaid-insured care, University of Chicago Medical Center relies on the federal 340B program to provide critical care on the South Side, where residents face high rates of chronic disease and health disparities. UChicago Medicine redirects drug discount savings toward essential services and programs, including an expanded adult emergency department, new adult trauma center, and new state-of-the-art Center for Care and Discovery.
Allowing drugmaker restrictions on 340B would put at risk many essential UChicago Medicine programs—its Level 1 trauma centers, neonatal ICU, the South Side’s only burn unit and more.
UChicago Medicine is committed to serving Chicago’s South Side and Harvey, where 25% of residents live in poverty. In its 2024 fiscal year, the nonprofit system invested $715 million in community benefits and services for patients.
As federal Medicaid cuts threaten the South Side’s healthcare ecosystem, 340B remains more important than ever to ensure access to high-quality care for communities in need. Vote YES on HB 2371 SA 2 to protect 340B. Learn more.
