Rush University Medical Center is an academic medical center that encompasses a 613-bed hospital serving adults and children, the 61-bed Johnston R. Bowman Health Center and Rush University. 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.
For nearly 170 years, Rush has been leading the way in developing innovative and often life-saving treatments. But physicians and scientists at Rush are not only committed to the science of medicine. They are also committed to the art of medicine. This unique combination of research and patient care has earned Rush national rankings in more specialty areas than any other hospital in Illinois, as reported in U.S.News & World Report’s 2005 “America’s Best Hospitals” issue.
