A doctor, a disinvested neighborhood, and a radical experiment to close Americas death gap. Two girls are born in the same Chicago hospital. Their neighborhoodsjust seven train stops apartwill shape their futures and help determine how long they live. One will celebrate her eighty-fifth birthday. The other will die before sixty-five. This is the death gap: lives lost too soon. Crossing the Gap asks how a city with world-class hospitals can tolerate an epidemic of premature deathand tells the story of the people fighting to end it. In his landmark book The Death Gap, physician and health equity leader David A. Ansell exposed how structural racism and poverty shorten lives. He moves beyond diagnosis in Crossing the Gap to explore what happens when a major medical center joins forces with pastors, community organizers, residents, and young leaders on Chicagos West Side to redefine what a hospital owes its neighbors. Part medical memoir and part urban chronicle, Crossing the Gap follows groundbreaking initiatives such as West Side United and the Sankofa Wellness Village as they confront decades of disinvestment and work to build healthier communities. Through stories of collaboration, courage, conflict, and community leadership, Ansell shows how neighborhood voices, rigorous data, and moral imagination can transform health systems from bystanders into partners for changenot just in one city but throughout the nation.©2026 University of Chicago Press (P)2026 David A Ansell Maladie et pathologies physiques Médecine et secteur des soins de santé Racisme et discrimination Sciences sociales
