      About Rush Munster

      Rush Munster, opened in early 2023, is an outpatient medical facility that brings health care closer to home for patients in Northwest Indiana. Most of our providers are affiliated with Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, which U.S. News & World Report includes on its Best Hospitals Honor Roll. That means you can find high-quality care locally — without the challenge of traveling.

      • Multiple specialties, one location: Rush Munster offers access to top health care providers in primary care and several specialties.
      • Comprehensive on-site services: We have 19 patient rooms and offer services for imaging, stress echocardiograms and ultrasounds. X-rays are available for walk-in patients.
      • Increased options for care: Since opening, our location has added to existing care options from Rush in Northwest Indiana, including cardiology services and thoracic surgery through the Franciscan Health hospitals.
      • Online access to your records: Rush patients have access to MyChart, an electronic system you can log onto with your smartphone, computer or other device. It gives you direct access to your own medical records, including test results and immunization records. And you can use it to schedule appointments or send secure messages directly to your care providers.

      FAQs About Rush Munster

      If you have questions about which health care locations and providers will accept your insurance, it is best to reach out to your insurance company directly. They will be able to offer more specific information about your plan.

      You may find answers to some of your questions on our insurance page.

      Rush Munster is an outpatient facility, which means you will need to travel to another location for surgical procedures. But we offer much of the testing, preparation and follow-up care that you’ll need before and after surgery on site.

      Our surgical specialties accept Indiana public aid.
