ECHO-Chicago
In 2010, the University of Chicago Medicine spearheaded the use of the ECHO 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 with the goal of improving healthcare outcomes for underserved populations. Join ECHO-Chicago for our new podcast series where we share stories and information from our program! Looking for more information about ECHO? Check out our website at www.echo-chicago.org
