UI Health News with Dr. Robert Barish
UI Health News with Dr. Robert Barish is a regular video series from the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs that provides transparent, direct health-system updates between UI Health leadership and employees.
2019 marks the third time that UI Health has developed a Community Health Needs Assessment, which we call the University of Illinois Community Assessment of Needs (UI-CAN). Hospital & Clinics CEO, Mike Zenn, MBA and Associate Vice Chancellor for Population Health Sciences, Jerry Krishnan, MD, PhD join Dr. Barish to discuss the approach and findings from the 2019 UI-CAN. UI Health will use the 2019 UI-CAN to inform our strategy and services to meet the needs of the people we serve. The full 2019 UI-CAN report along with previous editions are available online here.
