UChicago Medicine joins women’s group as elite partner

The University of Chicago Medicine has recently partnered with the Northwest Indiana Influential Women Association (NWIIWA) as an elite partner, solidifying and aligning the two organizations’ goals to advance the achievements of women across multiple industries. NWIIWA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and the leading professional development association for women in Northwest Indiana. UChicago Medicine, one of the nation’s leading academic medical centers, has a lengthy and distinguished track record of support for education and career advancement. Together, the two will help launch a new chapter of opportunity for women and companies throughout the Northwest Indiana community.

The health system that operates four hospitals and a network of outpatient locations across the greater Chicago region will now be an important part of all of NWIIWA educational, networking, and career-building activities. This year, UChicago Medicine broke ground on a $121 million multispecialty care facility in Crown Point. The 130,000-square-foot facility is expected to open in 2024 and will eventually employ at least 150 clinical and nonclinical employees. The healthcare provider has been actively forming new partnerships with local organizations to enhance quality of life and health outcomes throughout the area.
