2025 Health & Medicine Awards Gala
September 17
Health & Medicine is excited to announce our 2025 Awards Gala at Bridgeport Art Center in Chicago! Join us on September 17 from 6 – 9:00 p.m. as we celebrate the winners of our annual awards for Illinois leaders who exemplify Health & Medicine’s mission to build power and momentum for social justice and health equity in Illinois. Our awards gala is our only fundraiser of the year, providing general operating funds that allow us the flexible funding we need to respond to emerging issues and remain nimble and independent in our work.
Please join us in celebrating this year’s Health & Medicine Awards winners in the categories of Health, Medicine, Policy, Research, Group, Lifetime Achievement, and Emerging Leader. The event will feature social time with wine, a signature cocktail, food stations by The Fat Shallot, and a presentation and acceptance of awards.
