Closing the Death Gap

I Grow Chicago

Join I Grow Chicago and Dr. David Ansell for a vital conversation on how we close the death gap.

BEFORE Covid-19, there was already a 30 year gap in life expectancy between Englewood and Streeterville. As we adjust to a “new normal” in this pandemic, we must recognize that disparities are nothing new. But we do have an opportunity to create a new normal we WANT to see. What if the “new normal” was difficult discussions, empathy, taking care of our neighbors, justice, accountability, and love? What if the new normal was closing the death gap?Join I Grow Chicago for an informative and enlightening panel discussion with Dr. David Ansell - author of The Death Gap, Robbin Carroll - founder of I Grow Chicago and Streeterville resident, and Karen Clark - I Grow Chicago’s Director of Community Wellness and long-time Englewood resident. This live screening of the recorded conversation between Dr. Ansell, Robbin, and Karen will premiere on May 11 at 5:30 pm on YouTube. Dr. Ansell has worked for 17 years to eliminate racial disparities in medicine. He will take a deep dive into why The Death Gap exists and what it means for our city, while I Grow Chicago shares solutions and perspectives from the frontlines.
