Magoon Institute for Healthy Communities, which focuses on community-based initiatives.It will support programs that connect expecting parents with doulas and home visits.
The money will also be used for research on ways to help newborns and very young children who face inequities.“Providing high-quality medical care and cutting-edge research is essential, but it is not enough to meet the critical needs of our youth,” said Dr. Thomas Shanley, Lurie Children’s president and CEO. “We need to focus on the upstream factors that lead to health and racial inequities our children and communities experience.
