Medically Underserved Areas (MUAs) in <strong>Uptown</strong><br />

MUA designation involves four variables - ratio of primary medical care<br />

physicians per 1,000 population, infant mortality rate, percentage of the<br />

population with incomes below the poverty level, and percentage of the<br />

population age 65 or over. The value of each of these variables for the<br />

service area is converted to a weighted value, according to established<br />

criteria. Bridget Gainer, Cook County Commissioner
