Community Benefit Report: UChicago Medicine
Fiscal 2025 Annual Community Benefit Report
UChicago Medicine provides an annual report of benefits and services we offer to improve health in the communities we serve.
As part of our commitment to advance health equity, UChicago Medicine reported $1.1 billion in community benefits in fiscal 2025. This includes $971.4 million through the University of Chicago Medical Center on Chicago's South Side, $124.5 million through UChicago Medicine Ingalls Memorial in the south suburbs and $15.2 million through UChicago Medicine Crown Point in Northwest Indiana, which completed its first full year of operations in fiscal 2025.
This represents an increase over fiscal 2024, driven primarily by higher uncompensated care costs — including the gap between what Medicare and Medicaid reimburse and the actual cost of care, as well as unrecoverable patient debt — along with Crown Point's expanded operations, and continued investment in medical research and education.
Charity care provided across the University of Chicago Medical Center, UChicago Medicine Ingalls Memorial and UChicago Medicine Crown Point totaled $30.1 million. Charity care includes free and discounted services to help uninsured and underinsured patients afford the care they receive through UChicago Medicine.
Community benefit investments also include teaching and training tomorrow's healthcare professionals, funding medical research and supporting community-based health and wellness initiatives — from violence recovery and trauma resiliency programs to food access, chronic disease prevention and workforce development pathways across the regions we serve.
Our Strategic Approach to Community Health Impact
UChicago Medicine conducts a Community Health Needs Assessment to strategically identify and improve the health status, behaviors and needs of residents in our service area.
