DOTmed: Tell us about this purchase.
When Rush University Medical Center in Chicago set out to build a new hospital, it had one overriding goal: meeting the high standards for quality of care set by the people who work here.​

That's why Rush doctors and nurses, with input from patients and their families, worked with the architects to design our state-of-the-art hospital tower.

​One of the nation's most advanced hospitals, the Tower will house acute and critical care patients, as well as technologically sophisticated surgical, diagnostic and ​therapeutic services.

The Tower's many distinctions include tranquil rooftop gardens​, universal accessibility and sustainable design.​

DOTmed: Any final thoughts?
This 14-story hospital — at Harrison Street and Ashland Avenue​ — is the cornerstone of the Rush Transformation​, an ongoing effort to build new facilities, renovate existing buildings and adopt new technology.
