OSF HealthCare Lab at the UIC Innovation Center is helping to rethink how care is provided in an urban community. Interdisciplinary teams of students and faculty address community health challenges and identify ways to ensure those most in need have access to quality care.

The teams bring new, unencumbered thinking to longstanding problems. Students assess community health needs, conduct primary and secondary research, and develop concepts and prototypes in an effort to create solutions for improved health and wellness.

The lab hires undergraduate and graduate students from multiple disciplines – from public health and medicine to business, engineering, and design – to explore new models of care and proactive intervention strategies.
