Together for a Stronger Future

We are pleased to partner with NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore). We share a common mission and vision with NorthShore based on a mutual commitment to the neighborhood and serving the community. We have a shared belief that the best healthcare is local, rooted in the community and defined by positive relationships, exceptional experiences and quality care delivery. 

As we fully integrate our operations, you can expect the same excellent care you currently receive with the benefit of expanded access to leading edge specialists. Patients can also expect more services available locally, more seamless care coordination and improvements to our electronic medical record system. 

We will remain a full-service, acute care community hospital and operate with the new name of Swedish Hospital. Our Medical group's new name is Swedish Medical Group.
