Will Chicago BioMedicine continue to invest in new initiatives, technologies and facilities?
Yes. Even as UCMC looks for ways to reduce costs and become more efficient, it must continue to invest in cutting-edge technologies, modern facilities, and strategic initiatives in order to ensure that Chicago BioMedicine can achieve its core missions. Such investments are necessary if UCMC is to continue to provide medical care of the highest quality and safety, conduct agenda-setting research, educate the nation’s finest doctors and scholars, and lead the way in biomedicine. Nevertheless, the capital budget group will critically evaluate all projects to ensure that only the highest priority projects are funded.
