As a health conversion foundation, we fund a geographic region defined by the original service area of MacNeal Hospital, whose sale in 1999 established our endowment.
Our funding region covers a five-mile radius around the hospital, comprising 27 zip codes where more than 900,000 community members in Chicago and western Cook County suburbs call home. It is an area with diverse and evolving populations, health opportunities, and health outcomes, including zip codes (shaded in green) where community members have experienced health inequities exacerbated by structural racism, the effects of the COVID pandemic, and economic challenges.
