Rush is an elite medical community recognized yearly for excellence in patient care, medical discovery and clinical expertise. We are committed to fostering and sustaining a climate and culture wherein all staff, faculty, patients, and students thrive. Our continued pursuits have earned Rush University Medical Center the distinction of being on U. S. News & World Report’s Best Hospitals Honor Roll for 2024-2025. This places the Medical Center amongst the top 50 of the more than 5,000 hospitals evaluated. U.S. News & World Report has also recognized eleven Rush programs amongst the nation’s best, including top ten national rankings for neurology and neurosurgery and orthopedics. Rush University Medical Center has received Vizient's Quality Leadership Award, ranking second among 99 academic medical centers across the country.
