We're Busy!
In 2024, Swedish Hospital saw more than 50,000 patients in the emergency room, delivered 1,800 babies, performed around 9,000 surgical procedures, and admitted over 11,000 patients. Swedish Hospital is a nonprofit community teaching hospital offering a wide range of specialty services including orthopedics, cardiac catheterization and electrophysiology, certified Primary Stroke Center, neurosurgical intervention, and much more.
We're Diverse
Our patient population is diverse in ethnicity, religion, socio-economic background, age, country of origin and clinical pathology. You will see some incredibly interesting clinical cases between Swedish Hospital and core sites.
This diversity is reflected in our hospital staff, more than 50% of whom live within a five mile radius of Swedish Hospital. Our staff speaks over 40 languages and we have full time Korean and Spanish interpreters on site. Patients can access telephone translation of more than 240 languages, including sign language via video remote interpretation, 24 hours a day.
Resident Life
We believe that the best patient care is provided by residents who have balanced and happy lives. Our program looks for ways to support our residents while they journey through their post-graduate training. Each resident is included in our mentorship program between their peers and core faculty. The resident Wellness Chair organizes social events and activities throughout the city to build rapport within our program. Our emergency department also has regularly sponsored social events throughout the year to support wellness and stress mitigation.
Residents also have informal gatherings at each other's homes, local bars, restaurants and area attractions on a regular basis. One of the perks of being in a residency in Chicago is the wide variety of events and activities at your fingertips. Our residents truly feel as if they are family when they are in and out of the hospital.
