Rush University Medical Center is an academic medical center that encompasses a 669-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.  In this building is housed the new state of the art 70 bed NICU with all private rooms. 

Rush has a very robust Maternal-Fetal center and recruits high risk mothers from across the Midwest.  The 16 bed PICU is staffed by in-house intensivists and supports both a busy neurosurgical and cardiac surgical practice.  Rush currently is an ELSO certified center of excellence for ECMO.   All pediatric subspecialty practices are represented within the Department of Pediatrics and the pediatric residency program is one of the highest rated in Chicago.
