This past June, Chicago ARC (Accelerate, Redesign, Collaborate) was launched based on an innovation model developed by Israel’s Sheba Medical Center.

Chicago ARC aims to bring research and innovation expertise to communities seeking to address health inequities.

“These challenges have always been going on,” says Kate Merton, PhD, Chicago ARC’s executive director. “COVID has incentivized innovation. People are more willing to take that leap now and try new things.” Sheba Medical Center is proud to be a model of innovation and unity!
