Chronic underlying diseases threaten the livelihood of Black communities. For effective solution development, equitable access and innovation are non-negotiable. |
We are a healthcare incubator on the South Side of Chicago that develops solutions aimed at improving the factors that determine health in overlooked populations. We aim to diversify the talent pool in healthcare innovation, creating a pipeline to innovative solution development and creating measurable positive impacts on health outcomes in Black communities.

Increasing access to innovation in healthcare is possible. We’re here to do it.In order to truly address healthcare inequity, it is critical that those who have been systematically disadvantaged are part of the solution. As medical professionals, business leaders, and advocates with deep ties to the community and a strong commitment to increasing health outcomes in the Black community, we are uniquely situated to fill the gap between the goals and interests of traditional, powerful healthcare institutions and what those institutions have been able to accomplish thus far in the equity space.
