Northwestern Medicine is guided in this mission by three community pillars: Access to Care, Community Engagement, and Economic and Workforce Development. Access to Care Northwestern Medicine strives to deliver world-class, culturally competent care to every patient. To improve access to care for patients who have been historically underserved, Northwestern Medi- cine has launched several first-in-the-nation programs. Among them, the Gender Pathways Program provides gender-affirming care, and the African American Transplant Access Program seeks to end disparities in transplant care for Black people. Community Engagement Northwestern Medicine is committed to being an integral part of the communities it serves. Working with key community partners, the health system helps provide access to shelter, nutritious food and other essentials. It also supports initiatives that reduce violence, address trauma and improve safety. Economic and Workforce Development As one of the largest private employers in Illinois, Northwestern Medicine recruits a workforce that reflects the diversity of the communities it serves. The system provides innovative training, education and development opportunities to help candidates find a career in health care. DARYL HALL Daryl Hall is a modern-day renaissance man—a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, the star of his very own award-winning web series ( Live from Daryl’s House ), and a successful venue owner with Daryl’s House, a restored venue and live music space in Pawling, NY. And the Phil- adelphia soul man is still achieving career mile- stones more than four decades in. It’s been quite the span for Hall, including the October 31, 2014, opening of Daryl’s House, which also serves as the home base for his web series. The show, which began as a “light bulb” moment for Hall when he launched it in 2007 as a free webcast, has set the standard for artist-initiated projects. The groundbreaking series incorporates a mix of legends and the next generation of superstars. Highlight episodes of Live From Daryl’s House have featured a diverse mix of veteran and new performers from rock, soul, country and R&B. The rock legends have included Sammy Hagar, Joe Walsh, Cheap Trick, Tommy Shaw, Kenny Loggins, Todd Rundgren, Nick Lowe, Dave Stewart and Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top. Across soul and R&B, Hall has welcomed such artists as The O’Jays, Aaron Neville, Aloe Blacc, Kandace Springs, Elle King, Wyclef Jean, Smokey Robin- son, Cee Lo Green, Booker T & The MGs, and Sharon Jones. In addition to country artists such as Shelby Lynne , there’s also been a string of big-league singer-songwriters on the show, such as Ben Folds, Rob Thomas, Jason Mraz, Gavin DeGraw, Goo Goo Dolls’s John Rzeznik, and Fall Out Boy’s Patrick Stump. With the webcast, Hall has helped break out new acts like Fitz & The Tantrums, Grace Potter & The Nocturnals, Neon Trees, Johnnyswim, Parachute, and An- derson East. Recent episodes of the show have featured Squeeze’s Glenn Tilbrook, Blackber- ry Smoke’s Charlie Starr, Andy Grammer, Lisa Loeb, Robert Fripp, and Howard Jones. Daryl Hall has played Ravinia four times between 1997 and 2014 in his longtime duo band, and this marks his first solo show at the festival. RAVINIAMAGAZINE • JULY 1 – JULY 21, 2024 64
