Healthcare Challenges and Opportunities in

Mid-Sized U.S. Cities Educational Workshop

Opportunities face Mid-Sized U.S. Cities?

The Healthcare Challenges and Opportunities in

Mid-Sized U.S. Cities Educational Workshop is

designed to create a meaningful and actionable

dialogue around challenges and opportunities of

healthcare in Aurora, which faces many of the same

healthcare issues of many urban and rural areas,

but without receiving the same resources and

attention. Our goal is to facilitate a dialogue that

can address healthcare challenges and stimulate

new thinking and collaboration. By bringing

together healthcare experts, patients, government

officials, and civic leaders to share innovative ideas

and insights on healthcare challenges and

opportunities, we aim to provide tangible,

actionable, and pragmatic outcomes and solutions

to these healthcare challenges that empower

attendees and their organizations to implement

positive changes.

Healthcare Challenges and Opportunities in

Mid-Sized U.S. Cities Educational Workshop

222 S. Riverside Plaza (Suite 1900) | Chicago, IL 60606 | +1.312.906.6153 | info@chisite.org

Dear Distinguished Workshop Participants,

Welcome to Center for Healthcare Innovation’s 2016 Healthcare

Challenges and Opportunities in Mid-Sized U.S. Cities

Educational Workshop. I am honored to welcome you to this

important educational event focusing on the crucial topic of

healthcare in Aurora, IL.

The educational workshop is designed to create a meaningful

and actionable dialogue around the challenges and opportunities

of healthcare in Aurora. As a mid-sized U.S. city, Aurora is often

faced with the same healthcare challenges facing many urban

and rural areas but without receiving the same resources and

attention. Our goal is to facilitate an educational dialogue that

can address these healthcare challenges. By bringing together

Aurora’s community of healthcare experts, clinics, patient

groups, government officials, and civic leaders to share

innovative ideas and insights, we aim to provide tangible,

actionable, and pragmatic outcomes and solutions to these

healthcare challenges that empower attendees and their

organizations to implement positive changes. Participants will

discuss how to improve the Aurora healthcare ecosystem by

collaboratively discussing actionable insights, ideas, and best

practices with a particular focus on serving the healthcare needs

of the most underserved vulnerable populations and those living

below the Federal Poverty line.

I would like to express my gratitude to all of our distinguished

speakers, supporters, host, and attendees who will add great

substance to this vital discussion. I wish you a productive and

enjoyable day of dialogue, collaboration, and learning.

Warmest Regards,

Dr. James J. Gillespie, PhD, JD, MPA
