ECHO-Chicago

ECHO-Chicago Improving access to best practice health care in underserved communities by leveraging communication technologies.

Our Mission
ECHO-Chicago aims to establish and cultivate a robust knowledge network that builds community-based primary care capacity to reduce the serious health disparities affecting children and adults in underserved communities. The Model
The Extension for Community Health Outcomes (ECHO) is an innovative workforce development model developed at the University of New Mexico for expanding primary care capacity in underserved communities. What We Do
In 2010, the University of Chicago Medicine spearheaded the use of this model in an urban setting with the launch of ECHO-Chicago, the longest-running urban ECHO program in the world. ECHO-Chicago leverages existing assets by bringing together community health centers (CHCs) and academic medical centers for collaborative, curriculum-based, iterative, case-based learning. Using video-conference technology, ECHO-Chicago provides “telementoring” for community-based providers in managing common chronic physical and mental health conditions. Unlike a webinar, participants and facilitators alike can see, hear, and learn from each other, fostering a more engaging and interactive learning experience. ECHO-Chicago series are guided by curricula that focus on providing providers with the knowledge and skills they need to implement clinical guidelines and navigate real-life clinical challenges, especially in under-resourced settings. As a result, providers are able to integrate evidence-based practice into care and patients are able to receive state-of-the-art care in their primary medical home.

The ECHO-Chicago team bids farewell to our Business Administrator over the 15 year span of ECHO-Chicago. 💙

Dawn provided support to the team that created ECHO-Chicago back in November of 2010. She tirelessly managed the administrative functions for the ECHO-Chicago team, but also provided executive administrative support for our Director, Dr. Daniel Johnson, who also wore many hats within the Division of Pediatrics at the University of Chicago. We will miss Dawn and be forever grateful for her shared expertise, keeping us on task with HR matters, and being a team player. We wish her well and know that she will fully enjoy her much deserved retirement.

Happy retirement, Dawn! We will miss you! 💙
