Advocate Health Pledges

A look at how the library resources and services supports Advocate Health’s six Pledges.

Accelerate Learning and Discovery

Advocate Health's Pledge: We will advance the science of medicine to better care for our patients.

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. 

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.
