UCONSA is the student organization associated with the nursing branch of the university’s Urban Health Program, which was created by the Illinois State Legislature in 1978 to address health inequities affecting African Americans, Native Americans and Latinos. Members engage in programming and receive resources to address persistent health disparities in minority populations and to improve the quality and availability of health care in underserved urban areas. UCONSA also focuses on providing educational, networking and volunteer opportunities.
