John McIlwain and Dr. Summer Dewdney talk to Maria Pesqueira, the Executive Director of the Healthy Communities Foundation about their focus on health disparities. After re-evaluating their funding strategies, the McNeal Health Trust, which later became the Arthur Foundation, rebranded again to become the Healthy Communities Foundation. Given that their geographical service area is 50% Latinx, the Healthy Communities Foundation Board decided to focus its efforts on reducing health disparities in the Western Suburbs of Chicago.
