Health & Medicine is excited to announce its 2024 Annual Awards Gala held from 6-9 PM, which will be held on September 12 at Ignite Glass Studios in Chicago. The Gala celebrates the winners of our annual awards for Illinois leaders who exemplify Health & Medicine’s mission to build power and momentum for social justice and health equity in Illinois. Our Annual Awards Gala is our only fundraiser of the year, providing general operating funds that allow us the flexible funding we need to be able to respond to emerging issues and remain nimble and independent in our work. Please join us in celebrating the winners of this year’s Health & Medicine Awards in the categories of Health, Medicine, Policy, Research, Group, and Emerging Leader. The event will feature social time with beer and wine, food stations by The Fat Shallot, and a presentation and acceptance of awards.

Stay tuned for details on the award nomination process and how to register for the Gala or become a sponsor, and how to register for the Gala or become a sponsor, starting in April. Official announcements will be made via email, our social media platforms, and on our website once we open for registration and award nominations.
