Rush University Medical Center presents an outstanding return on investment to the corporations and foundations that support our work. We demonstrate this return in many ways: 

Quality Care for All Patients

• More than $220 million in community benefits and services provided in FY2011 alone
• Named to the 2011 Top Hospitals Award list, recognizing hospital quality and efficiency of care, by the Leapfrog Group
• Three consecutive years as a University HealthSystem Consortium top-ranking institution in key measures of quality and patient safety, and a perfect score in equity of care
• Robust clinical programs, many of which are ranked among the nation's best by U.S.News & World Report, in orthopedics, geriatrics, cancer care, heart care, neurosciences, transplant services and high-risk obstetrics and infant care 

Leading-Edge Research and Educational Programs

• Innovative educational programs that address critical national shortages in medical, nursing and allied health professionals
• Critical research that moves important discoveries from the bench to the bedside quickly and safely

Forward-Thinking Health Care Facilities

• A recent campuswide transformation, including an orthopedic building, an outpatient cancer center, a central power plant, a new parking facility, a materials management system and Chicago’s first “green” full-service hospital, all designed to improve outcomes and enhance the patient experience
• A new state-of-the-art Robert R. McCormick Foundation Center for Advanced Emergency Response that is equipped to respond quickly and decisively to a bioterrorism event or widespread medical emergency

Steady Employment for Thousands

• The employment of more than 8,000 — more than any other non-governmental employer on the Near West Side — and recognition as a Company That Cares and an equal opportunity employer
• Campus construction that has served as a catalyst for job creation and community development

High marks in national, employee and patient satisfaction surveys and a strong financial performance prove that efforts to strengthen the Medical Center and its community are working. Nevertheless, in order to realize our vision for a healthier tomorrow, we need your partnership.
