As an established nonprofit, academic and community hospital, Swedish Covenant Hospital offers a range of medical programs, including cancer, cardiac, surgical, women's health and emergency services. We are proud of our extensive accreditations and certifications which demonstrate our ongoing commitment to excellence in teaching and patient care.
Additionally, we know that one of the best ways to improve our patients’ health—and the health of our community—is to collaborate with community partners to provide comprehensive care both inside and outside of our hospital walls. From our pediatric affiliation with Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago to our affiliation with Rush University Medical Center for cancer care, we work hard to maintain lasting relationships with other health and medical centers in the area.
