Swedish Hospital has partnered with
Seasons Hospice & Palliative Care to open a new inpatient hospice center on our campus, the only center of its kind on the North Side of Chicago.

Comforting Environment
The new inpatient center in the Anderson Pavilion offers a comfortable environment where families can visit with their loved ones while Seasons helps to bring their symptoms and pain under control. The center features 10 private rooms and one semi-private room, each furnished and newly renovated with comfortable décor and amenities. Family members and loved ones may visit the center 24/7.
