On Thursday, September 30th, Health & Medicine hosted our 40th Anniversary Awards Gala at Ignite Glass Studios.

We were thrilled to welcome over 150 in-person guests and 200 virtual guests for a beautiful night celebrating health justice leaders in Chicago, enjoying good food, dancing to music, and connecting with those committed to working towards health equity. We’re so inspired and energized by all of the work our dedicated awardees have done to challenge inequities in health and health care. Many thanks to all who attended and supported the event!

We raised more than $126,000 to help support our work advancing health equity. Many thanks to our Board, whose $40,000 match helped us surpass our goal, our sponsors, and our in person and virtual attendees!

Our 41^st Anniversary Gala will take place in September 2022!
