Set against the backdrop of a breathtaking venue, Health & Medicine’s 45th Anniversary Gala will celebrate our decades-long commitment to advancing health equity and social justice across Illinois.

The evening begins with a cocktail reception and a chance to mingle with fellow advocates, followed by an elegant plated dinner as we reflect on 45 years of impact and look ahead to the future of health equity.

As Health & Medicine’s signature fundraiser, the gala brings together health care and public health advocates, leaders, and supporters who share a vision for a healthier, more equitable future. Proceeds from the evening help sustain bold advocacy, timely research, and community-centered solutions that drive lasting change across our state.

Join us to celebrate, foster community, and drive momentum for health equity across Illinois.
