What principles underlie the decision-making process?
Decisions have been made in consultation with representatives drawn from the breadth of Chicago BioMedicine. All decisions, including staffing levels, have been based on UCMC’s commitment to maintain the highest quality of patient care and safety, outstanding educational environment, and academic excellence. UCMC is reducing expenditures in a targeted and strategic way in order to protect and enhance the quality of its strongest programs. That means ending or scaling back activities that contribute less to UCMC’s core mission and strategic priorities.
