Governed by the Commission, the Roseland Community Medical District (RCMD) is a 100-acre district whose general purpose: 


  • (1) maintain the proper surroundings for a medical center and a related technology center in order to attract, stabilize, and retain within the District hospitals, clinics, research facilities, educational facilities, or other facilities permitted under this Act; and 
  • (2) provide for the orderly creation, maintenance, development, and expansion of (i) health care facilities and other ancillary or related facilities that the Commission may from time to time determine are established and operated (A) for any aspect of the carrying out of the Commission's purposes as set forth in this Act, (B) for the study, diagnosis, and treatment of human ailments and injuries, whether physical or mental, or (C) to promote medical, surgical, and scientific research and knowledge as permitted under this Act; and (ii) medical research and high technology parks, together with the necessary lands, buildings, facilities, equipment, and personal property for those parks.


Far South Community Development Corporation (Far South CDC) was hired as the administrative support organization to manage the operations and programs for the Roseland Medical District Commissioners. 


In 2021, the City of Chicago funded the comprehensive Master Plan for the 95-acre site. The Master Plan will seek to address the 1) medical needs, 2) public infrastructure, and 3) human investment for the Greater Roseland neighborhood on Chicago's far south side.
