Advocate Health has Six Pledges that are a road map for our success as a combined organization. Over the next few months, we are showing how the Advocate Health - Midwest Library supports each of these pledges. The pledge we are highlighting this month is to Advance Health Equity.
Advocate Health is committed to advancing health equity by addressing disparities in access to care, clinical outcomes, and social drivers of health, particularly in underserved communities. Our enterprise-wide model focuses on addressing provider shortages, leveraging shared infrastructure and capabilities to improve the health, and deploying innovative delivery and care models.
Librarians support this goal by providing seamless, electronic access to robust health information resources for teammates wherever they might be working; creating curated lists of current resources for teammates working with specific populations; and we participate in and promote library resources at DEI fairs around the Midwest Region at Advocate Health hospitals.
