Johnson, UChicago to Expand South Side Healthcare Facilities

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is partnering with City Colleges of Chicago, the University of Chicago, and the University of Chicago Medical Center to boost healthcare education and job opportunities in Chicago’s South Side.

Plans have been announced that include an expanded partnership that will see the construction of two new facilities in Washington Park – the UChicago Medicine Clinical Labs, owned and operated by UChicago Medicine, and the Malcolm X College Learning Center, owned and operated by City Colleges.

Work is expected to break ground in 2025 on the two new healthcare facilities that are expected to bring about 600 jobs to the neighborhood. The project also aims to address a significant shortage in clinical lab tech positions in the area.

“This healthcare pipeline expansion builds on a successful and strong relationship between City Colleges, the University of Chicago, and UChicago Medicine that is already placing our students into upwardly mobile careers,” said Johnson. “I applaud the partnership and the investment in our great South Side that this project represents.
