Overview
Northwestern Memorial Hospital is an academic medical center in the heart of downtown Chicago with physicians, surgeons and caregivers representing nearly every medical specialty.
Northwestern Memorial enjoys a teaching and service partnership with Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, an integration that provides patients access to leading-edge clinical trials and fosters an environment of world-class patient care, academic inquiry and innovative research.
Northwestern Medicine is proud to have four hospitals ranked among “America’s Best” by U.S. News & World Report for 2019-20. Anchored by Northwestern Memorial Hospital, the No. 1 hospital in Illinois and a top 10 hospital in the nation, we’re leading the quest for better care and better treatments in the Chicagoland area.
Northwestern Memorial has also earned Magnet® recognition*, the gold-standard for nursing excellence from the American Nurses Credentialing Center.
A forward-thinking, patient-forward health destination
In 2016, the American College of Healthcare Architects recognized Northwestern Memorial with the Legacy Project Award for forward-thinking design and enduring excellence in hospital design. Northwestern Memorial was one of the first hospitals to dedicate private rooms to all patients and continues to do so to this day. Private rooms are proven to not only improve patient outcomes and encourage a closer, more collaborative relationship with the care team, but also provide additional comfort and privacy for patients and their families during a stressful time. By design, patient rooms enjoy maximum natural light and city views and an integrated inpatient and outpatient system organized by specialty allows for greater efficiency for physicians to see their patients.
The downtown medical campus includes Prentice Women’s Hospital, the Feinberg Pavilion, the Galter Pavilion, the Olson Pavilion, the Arkes Family Pavilion, Lavin Family Pavilion and a number of other facilities and physician offices. The campus is designed to be a health and wellness destination and a launch pad for community involvement. In addition to providing medical services, buildings on the campus are also home to restaurants, retail stores and pharmacies that have been handpicked based on community feedback to provide both healthy and local choices. The campus also provides spaces for educational seminars, wellness classes and other events dedicated to the health of the community.
