UNITY: Uniting for Neurology Innovation, Teaching, and Community Engagement

UNITY brings together faculty, staff, and trainees across Northwestern’s Department of Neurology with community partners to expand access to neurological care, education, and research. UNITY supports community education, creates opportunities to participate in research, and provides neurological care at Community Health Clinic, a free outpatient clinic on Chicago’s West Side serving uninsured patients. Through these partnerships, we work to ensure our efforts reflect the priorities of the communities we serve.

UNITY's Three Pillars of Community Engagement:

Patient Care: Improve access to neurological care, services, and resources.
Education and Outreach: Promote brain health awareness and neurological health education.
Research: Partner with communities to advance research that reflects their priorities and needs.
