Throughout the year, Swedish Covenant Hospital hosts a variety of community events within Chicago’s North side neighborhoods. December is typically a lighter month for programs. As local businesses, legislators or community groups, we are all engaged with our communities in different ways, and together we help keep neighbors healthy and prosperous. Listed below are upcoming wellness programs – moving forward we will share these events with you on a monthly basis so you have the opportunity to keep your community informed about them as well.
