Mr. Jackiewicz leads UChicago Medicine, a $6.3 billion integrated academic and community health system. The system includes the flagship University of Chicago Medical Center, Comer Children’s Hospital, five community hospital partners and University of Chicago Physicians Group, one of the largest multispecialty practices in the Chicago area, as well as a microhospital in Northwest Indiana. Under his leadership, UChicago Medicine more than doubled in size, while strengthening quality and increasing access. Its flagship earned 29 consecutive “A” hospital safety grades from The Leapfrog Group, making it the only research-intensive academic hospital in the U.S. to achieve this distinction. Mr. Jackiewicz is leading an ambitious cancer care expansion, the building of an $815 million, 575,000-square-foot cancer care and research pavilion opening in 2027. As the first freestanding academic cancer facility in Illinois, AbbVie Foundation Cancer Pavilion will advance cancer health equity, especially on the South Side, where cancer rates are twice the national average. He is also working to deploy agentic AI in operations, including building an agentic primary care and population health model that proactively identifies care gaps, engages patients directly, and drives preventive health exams and vaccinations at scale. In addition, he helped to forge an expansive collaboration with 12 other providers to improve access to healthcare and resources in 15 communities on Chicago’s South Side, supported by up to $146 million in state funding.
