The coalition includes local healthcare institutions (hospitals, hospices, healthcare systems), community groups (ethnic, cultural, spiritual and neighborhood), and policy bodies (Chicago Department of Public Health, Illinois State Medical Society, Metropolitan Chicago Healthcare Council, etc). Participating organizations provide the expertise and volunteer time of their staff or representatives to the project.
