Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, Illinois, offers comprehensive health care services for women of all ages.

For decades, Rush has been a leader in women’s health. Rush created the region’s first comprehensive breast center. We are also home to Chicago’s longest running in vitro fertilization (IVF) program, where couples facing infertility have found hope for more than 20 years.

Since Rush is an academic medical center, we offer state-of-the-art services informed by top-notch research. This approach has helped us:

• Pioneer new approaches to treat breast and gynecological cancers
• Evaluate the physical, biological, psychological and social changes experienced by women before, during and after menopause
• Tailor cardiac care to the unique needs of women
• Safeguard female athletes and weekend warriors from sports-related injuries

  The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Rush provides the highest quality of primary, subspecialty and preventive health care.
