Overview of Jackson Park Hospital Jackson Park Hospital & Medical Center is a 256-bed short-term comprehensive acute care facility serving the south side of Chicago for nearly 100 years. The hospital offers full medical, surgical, obstetric, psychiatric, and medical stabilization (detox) services as well as medical sub-specialties including cardiology, pulmonary, gastrointestinal disease, renal, orthopedics, ENT, ophthalmology, infectious disease, HIV, hematology/oncology and geriatrics. Quality ambulatory care is provided onsite through the family medicine center and senior health center. The hospital also provides medical education and training through its family medicine residency program and several affiliated medical schools. Approximately 80 percent of the hospital's patients are covered by Medicare and Medicaid. Jackson Park Hospital’s mission is to provide compassionate and high quality healthcare service to meet the needs of the patients and communities we serve. We believe that all human beings possess intrinsic value. We will strive to ensure: (a) our operations will be patient-centered; (b) all patients will be treated with dignity and respect; (c) patients' rights will be honored. We will serve anyone in need of healthcare regardless of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, disability, age, or ability to pay. We believe in high levels of ethical and professional conduct. We believe in operating in an efficient and effective manner in order to thrive as a viable community healthcare provider. B. Defining Community for the Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) Jackson Park Hospital’s primary service area encompasses nine zip codes corresponding to 20 community areas in the City of Chicago.1 Figure 1 is a map of the hospital’s service area and list of communities in the service area. The total population in these zip codes is 481,995; nearly a quarter (23.8%) of the residents are under 18, while 14.8% are over the age of 65. 1 83.7% of the population is Black, 11.3% is White, and 1.3% is Asian, with a small percentage identifying with other racial groups, and 8.4% of the population identifies as Hispanic/Latino. 1 In the communities that make up Jackson Park Hospital’s service area, life expectancy ranges from 68 to 81 years of age, with almost all of the community areas having a life expectancy lower than the Chicago average of 77 years of age (Figure 2 and 3). The leading causes of death in these communities are heart disease and cancer. 1 American Community Survey, 2010-2014 3 Figure 1. Jackson Park Hospital Service Area Map and List of Community Areas Jackson Park Hospital’s service area covers nine zip codes corresponding to 20 community areas in Chicago.

Community Health Needs Assessment Methods/Process Jackson Park Hospital worked with the Illinois Public Health Institute (IPHI) to conduct this Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA), using community health status data from approximately 20 publicly available sources that are accessible through the Chicago Health Atlas and Community Commons websites. IPHI also conducted two focus groups with community residents in March 2018 and three key informant interviews with staff leaders from Jackson Park Hospital. Jackson Park Hospital wrote up a summary of implementation activities completed since the 2015 CHNA. This CHNA was conducted to meet federal requirements and guidelines, including: clearly defining a community served by the hospital, and ensuring that defined community does not exclude low-income or vulnerable communities in proximity to the hospital; a clear description of the CHNA process and methods; community health needs; collaboration, including with public health experts; and a description of existing facilities and resources in the community; input from persons representing the broad needs of the community; opportunity for community comment on the CHNA and health needs in the community; posting the CHNA and making it available to the public; And, Jackson Park Hospital will adopt and submit an implementation strategy to the IRS within four-and-a-half months of posting this CHNA. 6 II.

  • Report and Opinion
    Report and Opinion Concerning the Impact of the Proposed Obama Presidential Center on the Cultural Landscape of Jackson Park, Chicago, Illinois Including the Project’s Compatibility with Basic Policies of the Lakefront Plan of Chicago and the Purposes of the Lake Michigan and Chicago Lakefront Protection Ordinance By: Malcolm D. Cairns, FASLA Ball State University Muncie, Indiana May 15, 2018 Assessing the Effect of the Proposed Obama Presidential Center on the Historic Landscape of Jackson Park Prepared by: Malcolm Cairns, FASLA; Historic Landscape Consultant For: The Barack Obama Foundation Date: May 15, 2018 Statement of purpose and charge: To develop the historic landscape analysis that places the proposal to locate the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago’s Jackson Park in its proper historic context. This investigation was undertaken at the request of Richard F. Friedman of the law firm of Neal & Leroy, LLC, on behalf of the Barack Obama Foundation. The assignment was to investigate the proposed Obama Presidential Center master plan and to assess the effect of the project on the historic cultural landscape of Jackson Park, Chicago, a park listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This investigation has necessitated a thorough review of the cultural landscape history of Jackson Park, the original South Park, of which Jackson Park was an integral part, and of the history of the Chicago Park and Boulevard system. Critical in this landscape research were previous studies which resulted in statements of historic landscape significance and historic integrity, studies which listed historic landscape character-defining elements, and other documentation which provided both large and small scale listings of historic landscape form, structure, detail, and design intent which contribute to the historic character of the Park.

  • Daniel H. Burnham and Chicago's Parks
    Daniel H. Burnham and Chicago’s Parks by Julia S. Bachrach, Chicago Park District Historian In 1909, Daniel H. Burnham (1846 – 1912) and Edward Bennett published the Plan of Chicago, a seminal work that had a major impact, not only on the city of Chicago’s future development, but also to the burgeoning field of urban planning. Today, govern- ment agencies, institutions, universities, non-profit organizations and private firms throughout the region are coming together 100 years later under the auspices of the Burnham Plan Centennial to educate and inspire people throughout the region. Chicago will look to build upon the successes of the Plan and act boldly to shape the future of Chicago and the surrounding areas. Begin- ning in the late 1870s, Burnham began making important contri- butions to Chicago’s parks, and much of his park work served as the genesis of the Plan of Chicago. The following essay provides Daniel Hudson Burnham from a painting a detailed overview of this fascinating topic. by Zorn , 1899, (CM). Early Years Born in Henderson, New York in 1846, Daniel Hudson Burnham moved to Chi- cago with his parents and six siblings in the 1850s. His father, Edwin Burnham, found success in the wholesale drug busi- ness and was appointed presidet of the Chicago Mercantile Association in 1865. After Burnham attended public schools in Chicago, his parents sent him to a college preparatory school in New England. He failed to be accepted by either Harvard or Yale universities, however; and returned Plan for Lake Shore from Chicago Ave. on the north to Jackson Park on the South , 1909, (POC).

Horns and Robert W. Gorden Aquatic Biology Section, Illinois Natural History Survey to Division of Fisheries, Illinois Department of Conservation William H. Horns Robert W. Gorden Principal Investigator Co-Principal Investigator and Head, Aquatic Biology Section January 1988 Abstract A sport fishing creel survey of the Illinois portion of Lake Michigan was conducted between April 1, 1986 and March 31, 1987. The survey covered all sport fishing in the Illinois portion of Lake Michigan, with the exception of charter-boat fishing. It included pedestrian angling, fishing from boats, smelt fishing, snagging, and ice-fishing. The intent of the project was to provide reliable estimates of sport fishing activity, sport fish harvest, expenditures for sport fishing, and the quality of sport fishing. Total fishing effort for all categories of fishing exceeded two million angler-hours, with over half of that attributable to summer pedestrian angling.
