Patrick M. Magoon Institute for Healthy Communities
At Lurie Children’s, we’re dedicated to improving the health and well-being of kids and teens in the places they call home—where they live, learn, work, and play. The Patrick M. Magoon Institute for Healthy Communities, made possible through generous philanthropy, serves as the center for all our community-focused programs. For years, we’ve worked hand-in-hand with community-based organizations and leaders, combining clinical knowledge with community expertise to create evidence-based initiatives that help communities thrive.

Our Commitment to Community Health
Health is shaped by the conditions in which we are born, live, learn, work, play, and age. In Chicago, differences in resources lead to stark disparities in quality of life and health outcomes, especially between white, Black, and Hispanic/Latinx populations. We believe these conditions are not set in stone – they can and must be changed. The Magoon Institute drives Lurie Children’s efforts to transform these health influencers through our people, programs, and partnerships, working toward a healthier future for all children.
