<p>Here’s an FAQ from the medical center itself:
<a href=“Hospitals, Clinics & Doctors in IL - UChicago Medicine”>Hospitals, Clinics & Doctors in IL - UChicago Medicine;
<p>It doesn’t explain where all the net profit goes, but it explains the extent of charity care the hospital already provides (without acknowledging any of the arguments made by the previous article). By the way, the FAQ’s assertion that trauma victims “are not at risk” is false. Students for Health Equity, the undergrad student group working on the campaign, has shown that there’s a significant difference between the mortality rates of trauma victims on the South East side and the South West side (which has a much closer trauma center). They’ll be holding a research panel with the human rights committee in the next couple of weeks, and I’ll try to pass along their information.</p>
