About the University of Chicago Hospitals

The University of Chicago Hospitals and Health System (UCHHS) has been at the forefront of medicine for decades. Our mission is to provide superior healthcare in a compassionate manner, ever mindful of each patient's dignity and individuality. More than just a hospital, UCHHS consists of:

• Bernard A. Mitchell Hospital, the primary adult inpatient care facility
• University of Chicago Comer Children's Hospital, devoted to the medical needs of children
• Chicago Lying-in Hospital, a maternity and women's hospital
• Duchossois Center for Advanced Medicine, a state-of-the-art outpatient care facility
• Regional Doctors Offices located throughout the Chicagoland area

The physicians who care for UCHHS patients are members of the University of Chicago Physicians Group (UCPG), which includes more than 600 physicians and covers the full array of medical/surgical specialties. UCPG physicians are faculty members of the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine.

These organizations are headed by James L. Madara, MD, chief executive officer for the University of Chicago Medical Center, dean of the Division of Biological Sciences, and vice president for medical affairs.
