HOSPITAL ENVIRONMENT

Rush University Medical Center is an academic medical center that encompasses a 664-bed hospital serving adults and children.  In January, 2012, Rush opened a new 376-bed hospital building, known as the Tower, which is part of the Medical Center’s major renovation of its campus.  Rush University is home to one of the first medical colleges in the Midwest and one of the nation’s top-ranked nursing colleges, as well as graduate programs in allied health, health systems management and biomedical research.  The Medical Center also offers more than 70 highly selective residency and fellowship programs in medical and surgical specialties and subspecialties. 

Rush is consistently ranked as one of the nation’s top hospitals by U.S. News & World Report.  Rush is ranked in 7 of 16 categories in U.S. News & World Report’s 2014-2015 “America’s Best Hospitals” issue, and is one of the two top-ranked hospitals in Illinois overall.  Most recently the Geriatric Program improved its rating and jumped from 17th to 15th in the nation.  Rush was the first hospital in Illinois serving adults and children to receive Magnet status – the highest honor in nursing – and the first in Illinois to earn a third four-year designation. 

Rush is proud to be the preferred hospital and home to the team physicians for both the Chicago White Sox and the Chicago Bulls.
