Hyde Park is one of the best places to be if you’re sick—or just want great preventative care. For the 10th time in 12 years, U.S. News & World Report selected Hyde Park’s own University of Chicago Medical Center as one of the best hospitals in the United States.
The Medical Center, which prides itself on being at the forefront of medicine, includes two hospitals for adults as well as the new University of Chicago Comer Children’s Hospital, which specializes in state-of-the-art care in a family-friendly environment. Also under the Medical Center umbrella are the Duchossois Center for Advanced Medicine, an out-patient facility; the Pritzker School of Medicine; and several health care locations throughout the Chicago region.
In 2007 the Medical Center's nursing staff earned the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s highest award for excellence.
