Community relations

For more than a decade, Children's Memorial Hospital has worked closely with our local community partners to support the mission of the hospital in a manner that respects the quality of life of the institution's Lincoln Park neighbors.

The mission of the community relations department is to ensure that the hospital is a responsible and contributing partner in the Lincoln Park community.

Community relations subcommittees

The community relations department manages two subcommittees that meet regularly with Lincoln Park Community members.

1. Community relations committee

The community relations committee, which was initiated in 1990, is composed of representatives of Children's Memorial's management and leaders of local community organizations.

By addressing issues of common concern between Children's Memorial and its neighbors, the committee helps the hospital fulfill its mission in a manner that respects the quality of life of the institution's Lincoln Park neighbors.

Meetings of the committee are held quarterly.

2. Community-wide forum

The mission of the community-wide forum is to improve the quality of life in the Lincoln Park community.

By addressing issues concerning the welfare of Lincoln Park residents, the forum helps the hospital fulfill its mission in a manner that respects the quality of life of the institution's neighbors.

The forum's membership includes representatives of Children's Memorial's management and leaders of local community organizations.

Meetings of the community-wide forum are held two or three times a year.
