Your health and safety have always been, and continue to be, our highest priorities. Visit our online resource center to find helpful information from our expert physicians about steps you can take to prevent the spread of the virus and what to do if you suspect you have it.
As COVID-19 continues to impact Illinois and Wisconsin, Advocate Aurora Health remains at the forefront of the response. We are grateful to our more than 70,000 physicians, nurses and team members for their heroic efforts to provide our patients and communities with compassionate, safe and quality care during this pandemic.
The impact across our communities and within our health system is extraordinary as we continue to battle this pandemic. This collective experience has highlighted longstanding disparities and revealed new opportunities to innovate care.
Philanthropy plays a critical role throughout the response, enabling Advocate Aurora leadership to procure and deploy resources in real time. Gifts to the Relief Fund for Critical Care make it possible to bridge resource gaps and launch new initiatives to meet the myriad health needs of our patients. We also have a Team Member Crisis Fund that will be used to assist team members who are financially impacted by COVID-19.
As always, 100% of your gift will be used for this purpose, plus there are additional donor incentives within the CARES Act.
We're so grateful to everyone who has already donated. Learn how your gifts are making a significant impact here.
