Introduction information: The Healthcare Transformation Collaboratives program, created under the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services, aims to close gaps in healthcare services and eliminate the barriers to access and inequities that persist in Illinois\xe2\x80\x99 healthcare system. The program seeks to make significant, positive changes to the healthcare system in Illinois and specifically for Medicaid customers. The program encouraged healthcare providers to partner together to further these goals in their communities, creating collaboratives that can leverage their shared resources to create stronger and more innovative strategies for improving access, quality, and equity in the healthcare landscape than they could individually. Pillars Community Health will be part of the West Cook Coalition \xe2\x80\x9cWCC\xe2\x80\x9d. This collaborative will target the health inequities and poor health outcomes that exist in its service area, which includes 18 zip codes in western Cook County, by putting in place a care management model that aims to reach high-risk and rising risk Medicaid customers and uninsured adults. The WCC has come together to support access to care, enhance interventions focused on social determinants of health, and increase health equity and patient outcomes for communities in the West Suburban Cook County. The lack of access to quality healthcare has meant that preventable problems and illnesses have gone unaddressed. The WCC will create plans to solve complex healthcare challenges in holistic ways where there is great need and eliminate barriers to quality care to move toward a healthcare system that truly reaches everyone.
