Advocate Health has Six Pledges which are a road map for our success as a combined organization. This month we examine the final two pledges: Accelerate Learning and Discovery and Lead Environmental Stability.
Advocate Health pledges to advance the science of medicine to better care for our patients by accelerating learning and discovery. Advocate Health pledges to achieve net zero carbon to protect the Earth for future generations
The library supports research by providing access to a robust collection of databases, articles and books to support research; librarians support researchers with expert literature searches, collaborating on systematic reviews, and providing guidance on locating journals for manuscript publication. We provide resources to educate teammates about the importance of sustainability and librarians provide literature searches in support of teammates looking for evidence on sustainable practices. We also support climate and health education by creating guides to curate resources that provide information and evidence about the effects of climate change on health and health care.

Scholarly Showcase
The library manages SHARE, an institutional repository that aims to identify, highlight, and make accessible the scholarly activity of all Advocate Health teammates in the Midwest region. The mission of SHARE dovetails nicely with the fifth Advocate Health Pledge to accelerate learning and discovery. There are two annual events in the Midwest region that allow teammates a venue in which to share their research and quality improvement initiatives across the system: Scientific Day and the Nursing Research & Professional Development Conference. The posters, presentation slide decks, and recordings are all available on SHARE and allow the important work our teammates are engaging in to be disseminated beyond Advocate Health. Check out past events at the following pages:
