- Nationally ranked for cardiac bypass surgery: The Society of Thoracic Surgeons has designated thoracic surgery at RUSH a three-star program — the society’s highest rating — for coronary bypass graft surgery.
- Follow-up care closer to home: Our University Cardiologists teams in Oak Park and Aurora/Fox Valley share physicians, technology and communications with RUSH University Medical Center.
