Illinois is home to leading life sciences companies that are not only at the scientific forefront of improving patients’ lives, but also are pillars in the community, providing support to their employees and the communities where they live. While the COVID-19 crisis has highlighted the immense value our community provides to patients, the healthcare ecosystem and our economy, the pandemic has also uncovered significant and important shortcomings in our infrastructure, operations, and the impact of bias in health equity and in our society in general.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
