Cook County Health and Hospitals System
Commissioner Larry Suffredin wrote and passed historic legislation to separate the Cook County Bureau of Health Services from President Todd H. Stroger’s control. This legislation was called for and supported by editorials in the Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun Times.
Through this site, you can follow the progress of the Cook County Health and Hospitals System Board as this independent group runs the Hospital System in a professional manner for the first time in Cook County history. Below find agendas and committee reports for the System Board and all its committees.
This Board is responsible for spending nearly $1 billion to treat the needy of Cook County. A map of the system's facilities is here. More information about the System is available at its website, www.cookcountyhealth.net.
Background on the Cook County Health and Hospitals System Board of Directors
The creation of an independent board of professionals for the Cook County Health and Hospitals System was called for by the Cook County Bureau of Health Services Review Committee in October, 2007. I am pleased to present their report, often called the Goodman Report.

Crain's: Suffredin seeking $200 million a year to fund county system
By Mike Colias and Greg Hinz (October 8, 2006) A Cook County commissioner wants to squeeze as much as $200 million a year from local hospitals to help fund the county's cash-starved health system.
Commissioner Larry Suffredin says he'll introduce a measure in coming weeks that will pose a choice to the county's more than 50 non-profit hospitals: Offer more free medical services to ease the burden on the struggling county hospital system, contribute cash to that system or pay property taxes.
