Mission Statement University of Illinois Hospital and Clinics

(37) From time to time the Board of Trustees has revised the mission statement of the University of Illinois Hospital and Climes to reflect current hospital needs, policy, and practice. Last revised thirty years ago, in 1957, the hospital's mission statement does not reflect current national and local health care policies. In an April 1987 report of a management audit of the University of Illinois Hospital, the auditor general recommended that, " . . . the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois either reaffirm their July 16, 1957, Statement of Policy and Procedure Governing Admission of Patients or issue a new policy statement reflecting current hospital goals and mission as well as changes in the health care industry." The University officers agreed with the recommendation and stated that a new policy would be formulated for consideration by the board. The chancellor at Chicago has recommended adoption by the Board of Trustees of the following mission statement. The vice presidents concur. I recommend approval.

On motion of Mr. Forsyth, this recommendation was approved.
