CCHE PACT

04/22/2026

At University of Chicago Medicine, PACT's work sits at the intersection of care, community, and discovery. We provide HIV/STI clinical services grounded in respect and accessibility, while advancing research that pushes prevention and treatment forward.
Every test, every conversation, every study participant represents a step toward reducing stigma, expanding knowledge, and improving health outcomes. Our team is committed to meeting people where they are—offering compassionate care today while building the evidence that shapes tomorrow.
PACT is more than a program—it’s a partnership with the communities we serve, driven by trust, science, and a shared goal of ending HIV and improving sexual health for all.
