Good morning, Chicago.
🎭 Culture
Hyde Park and South Side summer events offer community celebrations.
From house music in Jackson Park to a Memorial Day wellness fair at Fuller Park (May 23) and a block party on S. Greenwood (May 25), the season also features a music series at Harper Court, parades, festivals and picnics.
🏛️ Government
Chicago hospitals now use strict guidelines per H.B.1312, passed in December, to protect patient privacy when immigration officials visit.
Facilities including John H. Stroger Hospital and Cook County Health post signage—and require law enforcement to check in with on-site security—to enforce the new policy.
🏥 Health
Planned Medicaid cuts under H.R.1 will soon strain safety-net hospitals on Chicago's South Side as officials warn reduced federal funding may cut essential services + increase emergency room visits.
Community leaders urge local officials to support vital healthcare access.
