Illinois attorney general closed the Cook County Health Foundation probe after reporting no violations
The Chicago Tribune reported that the Illinois attorney general's office closed its inquiry into alleged governance, conflict-of-interest and spending problems at the Cook County Health Foundation without finding violations. The office reportedly told the foundation in September 2024 that it would not seek further information. The closure became public in June 2025. The reporting also noted that internal conflict continued and that nine board members left during 2024.
