Your dedication, expertise, and partnership continue to drive this work forward, and we are grateful for all that you do.

In this issue, you’ll find updates from our subcommittees and project teams, along with upcoming events, trainings, and opportunities to strengthen our collective impact.

The Live Healthy Chicago “What’s Your Why, Chi?” Pilot has officially launched. Over the past several months, the Communications and Outreach subcommittee, led by the Chicago Department of Public Health, worked together with the University of Chicago Medicine, American Medical Association, American Heart Association, Rush University, and the LHC Community Board to review creative concepts, refine key messages, and develop digital campaign materials that will be tested across six priority Chicago neighborhoods (zip codes 60649, 60637, 60621, 60624, 60623, 60651).

The six-week pilot aims to identify which health messages resonate most with residents across diverse communities, languages, and audiences. Insights gathered through the campaign will help shape future coalition communications, strengthen partner engagement efforts, and inform broader citywide health awareness initiatives.
