Northwestern Memorial Hospital

Northwestern Memorial Hospital, Chicago, is a mainstay on the Honor Roll, the annual list of the best hospitals in the US

Northwestern Memorial Hospital has been on the national Honor Roll for 12 straight years and is nationally ranked in 11 specialties by U.S. News & World Report, 2023–2024.

Oncology

We provide compassionate cancer care from diagnosis to remission. Innovative treatments can make a difference in your care. That’s why we offer about 300 active clinical trials, giving our patients access to treatments and technologies that are not widely available yet. Northwestern Memorial Hospital is also home to Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University, which is a founding member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, an alliance of 32 of the world’s leading cancer centres.

Neurology and neurosurgery

Expert care helps ensure optimal results. Our teams lead in treating neurological disorders such as movement disorders, multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease. We tailor our care to the needs of each patient through specialised treatment centres.

Transplant care

We have performed transplants since 1964, giving us a legacy of lifesaving care. Since then, we have offered excellent care for patients from around the world. Our programme at Northwestern Memorial Hospital performs more than 600 organ transplants each year.

Interventional radiology

Precision is key to world-class care. Our physician-scientists helped pioneer radioembolisation procedures to treat liver cancer. This minimally invasive procedure targets cancer cells for a more precise dose of radiation.

Orthopaedics

Injuries and illnesses affecting your musculoskeletal system can impact your everyday life. We offer state-ofthe-art facilities and specialists in hip and knee replacement. We have extensive expertise in spine procedures, including corrective surgeries.

Cardiology

We are an internationally recognised destination for patients who need expert heart and vascular care. To provide world-class care tailored to your needs, we offer 10 specialised clinical programmes and six centres within Northwestern Medicine Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute.

Urology

We offer personalised care to help you manage urological conditions and issues. Our urology experts offer leading-edge diagnostic and treatment options for men, women and adolescents.

Fertility and reproductive medicine

At Northwestern Medicine, we aim to provide compassionate care. Our care teams draw on their experience to help address fertility issues in all patients. Our commitment to research, as well as advanced technologies and treatments, means we can provide you with a wide range of options.

Gastroenterology and hepatology

As one of the largest digestive health programmes in the US, we can offer resources and expertise. Northwestern Medicine Digestive Health Center combines innovation and compassion to provide excellent gastrointestinal healthcare.
