CLINICAL VOLUME
The response throughout all corners of UI Health and the Department of Medicine has truly been unprecedented. It is humbling to consider where we began in March of 2020 and how far we have come together. Through the chaos of successive variants and waves, our department members found new ways to pivot and counter pandemic barriers while delivering exceptional care for the people of Illinois. We began fiscal year 2021 hopeful that we could continue the department’s upward trajectory in clinical activity. Volumes normalized in the fourth quarter of 2021 across all specialties; returning to pre-pandemic levels in the first quarter of 2022. We continue to experience significant growth fueled by added volumes due to COVID-19 pandemic as well as expanding our clinical footprint with the successful opening of University Village Primary and Specialty Care and 55th & Pulaski Collaborative Health clinics.
