West Chicago is almost 100% urban and 0% rural so a large variety of patients and medical students are either serviced and taught at Rush University Medical Center.
Rush University’s Strategic plan to contribute to the community is displayed through development of their faculty which includes, building the actual University that houses students who are learning to become medical instructors and providers in a urban community, giving those same students career development and mentoring programs, giving hands on and online opportunities to learn and most importantly they embrace their social responsibility of the community. Rush takes initiative in the community engagement and the commitment to care towards the community, “this commitment encompasses multiple community partnerships, and active engagement in programs to address social determinants that impact access to care and optimal health and well-being.
