Swedish Hospital (formerly Swedish Covenant Hospital) is a 312-bed[1] nonprofit teaching hospital located on the north side of Chicago, Illinois. The hospital offers over 50 medical specialties, including neurosurgery for the spine and brain, integrative cancer care, heart services (including electrophysiology), women's health services, childbirth and emergency services.[1] The hospital has more than 600 physicians[1] and 2,500 employees.[2] The hospital is accredited by the American Osteopathic Association's Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program.[3]
Swedish Hospital was founded in 1886, and historically affiliated with the Evangelical Covenant Church (also called, Swedish Covenant church, as its members in the 19th century were primarily Swedish). In 2019, it announced it would become part of NorthShore University HealthSystem.[4]
