📢 Did you know? Residents of the South Side of Chicago face a life expectancy up to 30 years shorter than those in wealthier neighborhoods on the North Side. This disparity is driven by higher rates of chronic diseases, violence, and limited access to quality healthcare. At SSHCO, we are dedicated to addressing these health disparities and working towards a healthier, more equitable future for all Chicagoans. Together, we can make a difference! 💪🏽❤️ To learn more, visit https://lnkd.in/d_z6wiNX #HealthEquity #SouthSideChicago #SSHCO #CommunityHealth #EndHealthDisparities #HealthierSouthSide
