The two medical centers say the expansion will enhance academic medicine in the city’s western suburbs.
“The level of services, whether you go to Rush-Copley or Rush Medical Center, will become similar,” said Barry Finn, CEO of Rush-Copley. “The same people will be involved in your care across locations. That’s very different than what’s happening today.”
Investments in clinical programs at Rush-Copley will offer patients more comprehensive neurosciences, neonatal and women’s health services. The hospital will also create a new residency program in emergency medicine, and plans to start doing more clinical studies.
The latest expansion plan is in addition to a $52 million project to expand and modernize operating and recovery rooms at Rush-Copley, which is expected to be finished in 2018.
