Caring for the Most Complex Clinical Patients in the U.S.

Kindred Hospitals provide aggressive, specialized care to patients who need extended hospital stays. Our patients have serious medical conditions, often many at the same time, requiring a coordinated, specialized approach, directed by physicians, to meet their daily medical needs.

Our patients are medically complex and often need an array of medical services. We provide care through an interdisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, rehabilitation and respiratory therapists and other support staff. A physician is in-house 24 hours a day, seven days a week and the nursing staff rounds on an hourly basis. Kindred has experience and expertise in a wide variety of care including:

• pulmonary care (ventilator management and weaning)
• complex wound care
• rehabilitation (transitional or subacute care)
• dialysis
• IV antibiotic therapy
• pain management

Kindred Hospital Chicago - North's success in this endeavor is apparent - our patients and families rate our quality of care at 93% and over 86% are highly likely to recommend Kindred. In 2010, Chicago North was named Hospital of the Year by the Hospital Employee Performance Award Program (HEPAP), based on patient care, customer satisfaction, efficiency, employee satisfaction and safety. In first and third quarter, 2011 we twice received the HEPAP Silver Award.
