Popis: This chapter provides case studies from Chicago and Cook County. Chicago and suburban Cook County epitomize a complex health care and public health landscape, which the chapter outlines in detail. It lists factors that converged in 2015 to provide opportunities for a collective community health project in the area. This alchemy of factors in 2015 resulted in the launch of two hospital collaboratives with similar goals. In 2017, the two collaboratives merged to form the Alliance for Health Equity. The success of this merger is a testament to the commitment of the hospital and public health leaders to a common vision of health equity and their opposition to letting competition or individual interests undermine the collective potential.
