Loyola Medicine, also known as Loyola University Health System, is a quaternary-care system with a 61-acre (25 ha) main medical center campus in the western suburbs of Chicago, in the U.S. state of Illinois. The medical center campus is located in Maywood, 13 miles (21 km) west of the Chicago Loop and 8 miles (13 km) east of Oak Brook. The heart of the medical center campus is the Loyola University Medical Center. Also on campus are the Joseph Cardinal Bernardin Cancer Center (now named for the late Cardinal Joseph Louis Bernardin, Archbishop of Chicago, who was a patient at the Cancer Center when he died in November 1996 from metastatic pancreatic cancer) Loyola Outpatient Center, Center for Heart & Vascular Medicine and Loyola Oral Health Center as well as the Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine (named for Samuel Cardinal Stritch, a former archbishop of Chicago), Loyola University Chicago Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing, Center for Translational Research and Education, and the Loyola Center for Fitness.^{[when?][citation needed]}

Loyola's Gottlieb campus in Melrose Park, Illinois includes the 264-licensed-bed community hospital, the Gottlieb Health and Fitness Center and the Marjorie G. Weinberg Cancer Care Center. In 2018, Tenet Healthcare sold the formerly for-profit MacNeal Hospital, in Berwyn, Illinois, to Loyola Medicine.^[1] Loyola University Health System has been a member of Trinity Health since July 2011. The Neiswanger Institute for Bioethics and Health Policy is a part of the Stritch School of Medicine.^[2]

Loyola Medicine has made news for delivering two of the smallest babies to ever survive: one born 8 inches (20 cm) long and weighed 8.6 ounces (240 g), and another was born at 26 weeks weighing 9.9 ounces (280 g) and measuring 9.5 inches (24 cm).^{[citation needed]}
