Mission
Statement |
The mission
of the Chicago/Cook County Ambulatory Care Council is to provide an organized
voice for community input into decisions that affect the organization,
delivery and financing of ambulatory care services and other elements of
the larger health care system that serve the residents of Chicago and surburban
Cook County, especially those residents who are under served. To
fulfill this mission, the Council conducts policy analysis, implements
health improvement initiatives, and promotes legislative and advocacy strategies.
The Council encompasses a county-wide Ambulatory
Care Forum, community focused District Health Councils and a non-for-profit
Ambulatory Care Board, Inc. The District Health Councils identify
local health needs, recommend and interventions and negotiate for responsive
community health care systems. The Ambulatory Care Board, Inc. guides
the overall Council, seeks and allocates financial support for Council
goals and activities, and provides policy direction and technical assistance
to the District Health Councils.
