The University of Chicago Medical Center forms a major center for medical care and
research in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. Formerly known as
the University of Chicago Hospitals, the hospitals are affiliated with and run
by the University of Chicago, and serve as teaching hospitals for students of
the institution's Pritzker School of Medicine.
In 2007, the University
of Chicago Medical Center was again ranked among the best in the country by
U.S. News & World Report. The 2007 rankings by U.S. News and World Report included
the following medical specialties: digestive disorders (6), cancer (7), endocrinology
(8), neurology and neurosurgery (14), kidney disease (22), heart (23),
geriatrics (24), ear, nose, and throat (25), gynecology (39), and respiratory
disorders (50). It is the only hospital in Illinois ever to be included on the
magazine's "Honor Roll" of the 18 best hospitals in the United States, and has
made this coveted list 10 times. |
