What is the Hospital Accountability Project?
We are a research and advocacy initiative of the Service Employee International Union (SEIU). Our aim is to hold nonprofit, tax-exempt hospitals accountable to their charitable mission to place the needs of patients, workers, and the community ahead of financial objectives. Advocate Health Carethe largest private provider of health care and second largest private employerhas the opportunity and an obligation to set the highest health care and employment standards in Chicago. Unfortunately, the bottom-line decision making of Advocate executives has prevented this from happening. In the interest of making Advocate Health Care the best place to work and receive care, the Hospital Accountability Project and our community partnersincluding patients and workers are urging Advocate to abide by its nonprofit and faith-based mission.
