OSF HealthCare, which operates locations in Illinois including OSF Saint Anthony's Health Center in Alton and OSF Children's Hospital in Peoria, joined SWITCH, a new independent organization launched by City Tech Collaborative to address health equity in Chicago.
SWITCH stands for Sustainable Wellness through Innovation, Technology, & Collaborative Health. Its mission is to increase health equity and improve community health delivery and wellness outcomes in Chicago's most underserved communities, OSF wrote in a press release. Solutions will be developed by engaging residents and patients to ensure they have an active voice in solution creation; leveraging a robust racial equity and inclusion methodology to address inherent bias in existing solution development processes.
