About Rush

Rush University System for Health (Rush) is an academic health system whose mission is to improve the health of the individuals and the diverse communities it serves through the integration of outstanding patient care, education, research and community partnerships.

Rush is an elite medical community recognized yearly for excellence in patient care, medical discovery and clinical expertise. We are committed to fostering and sustaining a climate and culture wherein all staff, faculty, patients, and students thrive. Our continued pursuits have earned Rush University Medical Center the distinction of being on U.S. News & World Report’s Best Hospitals Honor Roll for 2024-2025. This places the Medical Center amongst the top 50 of the more than 5,000 hospitals evaluated. U.S. News & World Report has also recognized eleven Rush programs amongst the nation’s best, including top ten national rankings for neurology and neurosurgery and orthopedics. Rush University Medical Center has received Vizient’s Quality Leadership Award, ranking second among 99 academic medical centers across the country.

All three Rush hospitals have earned the LGBTQ Healthcare Equality Leader designation in the Healthcare Equality Index. Additionally, Rush has been named as one of the nation’s "Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion" for past six consecutive years. Our physicians, advanced practitioners, nurses and staff are the heartbeat of our health system’s ongoing success. We know how important it is to recruit and retain exceptional staff and faculty to execute our mission.

We’re passionate about health equity: for the communities we serve, for our patients and for our employees. We know that the South and West Sides of Chicago have historically been underserved. As a result, there is a 16-year gap in the life expectancy of someone in Chicago’s Loop versus someone in Chicago’s West Side. As the largest employer on Chicago’s West Side, we take it seriously that our institution can change this. As part of our Anchor Mission strategy, we hire, invest, buy and source, and volunteer locally. We’ve invested more than $6 million on the West Side since 2018, and that number continues to grow every year. And, of course, we continue to provide excellent patient care for everyone who comes to Rush.
