Dr. Ezike told NBC Chicago that filming her experience is part of her mission to help Sinai Chicago’s patient population, which is 50% Black.

“If we want to really narrow these disparities that we keep talking about between the communities that Sinai serves and other communities in Chicago, it really starts with some of these important preventive and screening procedures,” Dr. Ezike told NBC Chicago.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
