Opening Jan. 9, Rush's New Tower Will Enhance Education

The Rush Transformation isn’t only improving the patient experience—it’s
enhancing the learning environment for Rush University students as
well. By transforming the Medical Center’s facilities and systems to
center around providing the best possible care for our patients, Rush is
also transforming its teaching environment to offer the best clinical
education for our students.

Rush dedicated its new Tower hospital facility on Thursday, Dec. 8.
