Economic disparities in Chicago neighborhoods contribute to the overall health and well-being of individuals and communities. According to a study done by Lurie's Children's Hospital alongside the Chicago Department of Public Health, 36% of low-income parents reported being in good health when compared to 75% reported in the high-income demographic.1 This can be attributed to a lack of affordable nutrition, health literacy, and resources. The Nourish Chicago project was created to combat these problems by providing access to educational workshops and training community leaders to create sustainable change within communities.
