This venerable Chicago institution is home to one of the first schools of medicine in the Midwest and one of the nation’s top-ranked nursing colleges.  Its location overlooking the bustling city serves as a symbol of its broad reach and impact – providing patients throughout the metropolitan area with advanced treatments; training physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals; and conducting basic and clinical research. As the Medical Center looked to the future, however, it was clear that it needed to replace its aging facility in order to keep pace with medical advances and contribute to the ongoing revitalization of its urban neighborhood. Plans were made for a $300 million campaign to build a new hospital, renovate existing space, and bolster the endowed research and scholarships funds.
