CHICAGO HEALTH EQUITY COALITION: MERCY HOSPITAL FIGHT’S NOT OVER. We are hailing the victory of saving Mercy Hospital from closing! This is a step forward in a long-term fight for vulnerable Chicago neighborhoods to have equitable access to healthcare, but our work is not over. Saving the hospital from closure and having a buyer step forward to run the hospital is just the beginning of the fight. Our diverse Chicago Health Equity Coalition (CHEC), made up of healthcare professionals, community organizations, labor unions and churches who have been fighting to save Mercy Hospital since the closure was announced in July 2020 developed a rubric and list of demands for assessing how the new owner moves forward.
