What's New at Rush
Rush Opens New Tower Hospital Facility
After more than seven years of planning and three years of construction, Rush University Medical Center successfully moved approximately 200 patients into the Tower, Rush’s new, 14-story, state-of-the-art hospital building, located at Ashland Avenue and the Eisenhower Expressway.
The patients settled into their new rooms in the Tower after moving from their rooms in Rush’s existing hospital, the Atrium Building, on Sunday, Jan. 8. On Monday morning at about 8:30 a.m. CT, the first surgeries began in the new hospital. Approximately 60 operations were planned for the surgical suites, with another 20 operations scheduled in Rush’s Atrium Building.
