Northwestern Memorial HealthCare is the corporate parent of Northwestern Memorial Hospital, one of the country's leading teaching hospitals, and Northwestern Memorial Foundation, which provides fundraising and grantmaking support for the hospital's mission and strategic goals. The hospital affiliates/subsidiaries provide a range of healthcare services including acute and tertiary inpatient care, ambulatory care, wellness and prevention programs.

Northwestern Memorial Hospital
Northwestern Memorial is one of the nation's preeminent academic medical centers, with 744 beds in Feinberg Pavilion, the Prentice Women's Hospital and the Stone Institute of Psychiatry. It is the primary teaching hospital for Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine and a major midwest referral center. The medical staff represents virtually every specialty and is comprised of 1,414 physicians who are affiliated with the hospital and carry faculty appointments with the Feinberg School.


Northwestern Memorial is Chicago's only academic medical center participating in city and state Level I trauma networks and as a Level III neonatal intensive care unit. Our partnership with Erie Family and Winfield Moody Family Health Centers and the Lawson House YMCA have improved access to healthcare to communities in need and the homeless.

Northwestern Radiology Residency Program
Program and Facilities
Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine, in conjunction with Northwestern Memorial Hospital, Evanston Hospital, and Children's Memorial Hospital offer a four-year residency in diagnostic radiology that combines patient care, study, and research. Residents rotate among these hospitals, with the majority of the one-month rotations performed at the state-of-the-art, Northwestern Memorial Hospital (NMH), that opened in May 1999.

The program encompasses all aspects of diagnostic and interventional radiology, including computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), neuroradiology, nuclear medicine, pediatric imaging, vascular radiology, women's imaging, and ultrasound.

Learning and Research
Daily conferences by attendings, monthly guest lecturers, conferences given by the residents themselves, interdisciplinary conferences, clinical teaching at the PACS monitors, and teaching medical students are all part of the comprehensive learning experience offered by the Department of Radiology. In addition to the training in Northwestern's Chicago campus, residents are also offered the opportunity to attend the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP) Radiology-Pathology course in Washington D.C. during the third or fourth year of the program.
