The COVID-19 pandemic heightened the awareness of healthcare disparities that have been
affecting Chicago’s disadvantaged communities for decades. In this panel discussion led by stakeholders
from the clinical, community, and designer perspective, we will address the importance of population health
and how it impacted the COVID-19 response. We will discuss social determinants of health, especially
as they relate to our Chicago communities, but also look at how healthcare systems are creating
new solutions to combat health inequities. The audience will leave with a better understanding
of population health and learn about opportunities of engagement that they can apply in their own practice.

Panelists:

• Rick Bone, Senior Medical Director of Population Health at Advocate
• Roderic K. Walton, AIA, NCARB, Associate Principal & Architect at Moody Nolan
• Angel Burress, Care Transition Coordinator at UChicago Medicine
• Moderator – Holly Harris, AIA, NCARB, LEED AP BC+C, Architect at SmithGroup

This a partnership program between AIA Chicago’s Healthcare Knowledge Community and AMFP Chicago.
