Join the Quest

Quality Quest for Health of Illinois invites you to join our quest to transform Illinois into a state with healthy people and high-value healthcare. Poised for dramatic change, healthcare needs a strong foundation of evidence-based care standards, measurement, reporting of performance and clinician leadership. Quest is committed to working jointly with clinicians, employers, payers, and patients and families to affect lasting, healing change in healthcare.
