Chicago has made national headlines for the more than 780 murders last year and the dozens ofhomicides committed already this year. University of Chicago Medicine is now building the only adult Level I trauma center located on the South Side, one of the city's most violence-plagued communities. Spearheading the effort is SELWYN ROGERS JR.,M.D., a Harvard-trained surgeon and public health expert who previously served as chief medical officer with the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston.
