UHC, Chicago, Illinois, formed in 1984, is an alliance of 120 academic medical centers and over 300 of their affiliated hospitals which are focused on delivering world-class patient care.

Mission
Providing the lens through which the organization assesses all it does, UHC’s mission is to create knowledge, foster collaboration, and promote innovation to help members succeed.

At UHC, collaboration drives success. For nearly 30 years, we have been a catalyzing force in supporting academic medical centers (AMCs) in their efforts, fostering new ideas, and building solid relationships that withstand the test of time. Our members have been agents of progress—driving the advancement of patient care, medical knowledge, and fiscal acuity by coming together to candidly discuss their ideas and vision.

As health care continues to evolve, we believe that AMCs and other health care organizations that deliver complex care will play an increasingly pivotal role. By combining the strength of your knowledge with our own and harnessing the power of health care’s most capable minds, we can overcome some of health care’s toughest hurdles. Together, we can create a world of insight and innovative solutions that help strengthen the delivery of patient care.
