Gift and Flower Shops

The gift and flower shops at Rush carry a wide range of items that provide you or your loved ones a little pick-me-up in the hospital. All of the shops accept most major credit cards.

The Woman’s Board of Rush University Medical Center operates the hospital’s two gift shops and donates all net proceeds from the gift shops directly to the Medical Center.
